ELL Tutor Training

  • Nashville Adult Literacy Council 4805 Park Avenue Nashville, TN, 37209 United States (map)

Do you want to help an immigrant learn English? Are you interested in building cross-cultural relationships? We have a great volunteer opportunity just for you!

Our ELL volunteer tutors are matched with a student learning English based on availability, interests, and preferences including gender, skill-level, and more. Tutors will meet with a learner on Zoom (online-only tutor) or in-person at an agreed upon public location and on Zoom when needed (hybrid tutor). All trainings and meetings with NALC will take place on Zoom. After training you will indicate if you would like to be an online-only or hybrid tutor. Tutors use an online English curriculum and learning management system, Burlington English, provided by NALC, to deliver high quality English lessons to learners. Other supplemental materials may be used.

Our next Tutor Training is scheduled for Thursday, May 11 from 9 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. and Tuesday, May 16 from 1 p.m. - 2 p.m. via Zoom

Download a full volunteer description here. Review the qualifications and time commitment and decide if this is the right fit for you.

Potential volunteers must attend two Zoom trainings (first an orientation training, then a Burlington English training) led by NALC staff before being matched with a learner. Training is provided via Zoom only: in-person training is not available.

If you are interested in learning more please reach out to Maggie Yandell, myandell@nashvilleliteracy.org; or call 615-298-8060
