Wilcrest - ESL

While You're Waiting - flexible AND fun!

We recently expanded our While You're Waiting schedule (classes for ESL students on the wait-list), due to high demand and so many students waiting for Regular Classes. This means we need tutors!

Classes take place: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
Time commitment: Very flexible! Interested tutors are placed on a mailing list and sent the schedule once a month; you can opt in to sessions as and when it suits you. Tutor once a month or once a week; it's up to you!
Starting: Ongoing

Wilcrest - ESL, Work readiness

Expanding a popular and successful workplace readiness class

One of the top two issues that bring students to us, wishing to improve their English literacy, is workplace skills. We trialled some materials to address these needs late in 2011, and the classes were very successful!

We are ready to expand Conversations for Work Special Classes at our Wilcrest location, using the popular ESL DVD series, EASY at Work.

If you are a trained volunteer tutor and you might be interested in leading these classes, please get in touch! The first step will be observation and learning about the materials.
