ELD TUTORING

You can make a world of difference! Volunteer to help M-A’s English Learners.

​

• Volunteer tutors help students who are learning English in M-A’s beginning and intermediate English Language Development (ELD) classes. Most of the students are relatively new to the U.S. and face huge challenges as they attempt to learn in a new language and new educational system. Volunteers give English learners an opportunity to practice English conversation and offer individual support on schoolwork. Familiarity with a second language is not required, but is helpful. 

• Tutors focus on reading, writing, vocabulary and conversation.

• Tutors are usually assigned to one period on a block day, which makes the weekly commitment less than two hours.

• Tutors work with small groups of students under the direction of a classroom teacher.

​

This is a terrific opportunity for parents to get involved in a constructive and rewarding way by working directly with students and teachers.
