ESL tutor

Seeking volunteer ESL tutors for refugees living in central and northern New Jersey. Can be remote or in-person. It is helpful to have ESL experience or general teaching experience, but not required. Materials are provided through Google Drive library and/or physical books. You do not need to speak a common language with the refugees being taught (in fact it is advantageous to not have a common language so we can encourage practicing English!). Refugee students are from many different countries of origin and vary in their English proficiency from pre-literate beginners to intermediate English. Background check is required through Sterling Volunteers. We are a 501c3 registered nonprofit concentrating on advocacy and promoting social, emotional, educational and economic success among refugees in New Jersey.

Type of help: Refugee Assistance Partners NJ (RAP) began in 2015 as a grass-roots interfaith partnership of groups and individuals of faith as well as non-affiliated individuals concerned for the well-being of refugees resettled in central New Jersey. RAP provides many support services to promote self-sufficiency such as job retention skills, life skills, budgeting, transportation training, nutrition education, school help, and weekly ESL classes for all skills levels and all ages. RAP is a 2018 recipient of the Union County Human Relations Commission Unity Award; our work is ongoing.
