English Tutor Training-

We hold quarterly ESL Trainings in person for our volunteers, usually in September, December, March, and May. In our training, we go over best practices in tutoring adult language learners in a 1:1 setting as well as give volunteers space to troubleshoot challenges together. These will be led by an expert ESL teacher and ReEstablish Richmond staff who will be available to answer your questions. Please check volunteer newsletters for upcoming training times.

The next training will take place Tuesday, December 9 from 6:30-8:30 PM, location TBD
