Volunteer Tutor and Teachers Aide, Portland Community College Literacy Program

Portland, Oregon: March 2003-August 2003
  • Tutored one on one in English as a Second Language (ESL).
  • Aided in an ESL Level A class.


While living in Portland, Oregon I worked with the Portland Community College Literacy Program for 6 months. I aided a teacher of a local English as a Second Language class as well as providing one-on-one tutoring for a local woman. Together we discovered that she really needed computer skills to get a better job, so we attended a free class at the library together. When we parted ways she was well on her way to taking advantage of other free services through the local library, to continue increasing her skills.
