The ESL Program at Catholic Charities has immediate openings for part-time English as a Second Language Teachers.

Curriculum materials are provided, but teachers are expected to adapt and supplement our standard curriculum based on their learners’ goals as workers, family members, and community members.

ESL Teachers typically teach one or two classes, for a total of 10 hours per week.
