Volunteer to be ESL Tutor/Aide with VITA

Volunteer to Help Make a Difference

Vita Education Services is offering an English as a Second Language (ESL) training to prepare volunteers to work with ESL adult learners who need to learn or improve their English to further their education and job opportunities. Two opportunities are available: ESL Tutor or Classroom Aide. Tutors facilitate courses for small groups of adults. Requirements include being at least 21 years of age and having a four-year college degree. Classroom aides work with small groups or one-to-one with ESL students, under the guidance of classroom teachers. Aides must be at least 18 years old and have a High School degree or equivalent. 

The twelve-hour training will be held on four evenings, beginning April 2, from 6 – 9 p.m., at Vita’s Doylestown office.

Registration is necessary. Call 215-345-8322 for more information or visit www.VitaEducation.org.

FREE Reading, Writing, Math and GED Preparation Classes

Vita Education Services/Information on Free English as a Second Language Classes

Vita's free English as a Second Language (ESL), reading, writing, math, and High School Equivalency (HSE) preparation classes for adult learners resume in September, 2018, at locations throughout Bucks County. Interested individuals are required to attend an orientation/registration session in order to participate.

Vita offers small group and class instruction at many educational levels for both native and non-native speakers of English. A major emphasis of the program is the development of skills to increase opportunities for HSE attainment, post-secondary education and training, gaining or retaining employment, and parental involvement in the success of their children in school. All students are provided with their own texts and workbooks to help them with home study.

This year, Vita is offering a new kind of ESL class called "Grow Your Own Business," which combines English language learning; learning about American culture, history, and government; and professional training to start or grow a business.
