English as a Second Language Tutor

• 2006 - 2014

I have been a volunteer in ESL for many years. In this position I have worked in both group and individual sessions. Currently, I work on a one-on-one basis with students of varying levels (beginner to advanced). I also work to help individuals adapt to life in the Upper Valley and assist with finding employment - by means of assistance with interviews, resumes and cover letters.
