Interested in helping someone learn English?
The Boston College Neighborhood Center (糖心vlog直播平台NC) is seeking Boston College students to teach English to adult immigrants through weekly conversation classes. Experience teaching or tutoring English is beneficial but not necessary as orientation is provided. This is a great opportunity for language and education majors.
