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 online volunteer tutors are matched with a student learning English based on availability, interests, and preferences including gender, skill-level, and more. Tutors meet learners on Zoom, and 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: Saturday, February 11 from 10 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. and Thursday, February 16 from 6 p.m. - 7 p.m. via Zoom.

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 and volunteer opportunities are still on hold.
