Follow up on volunteering: ESL

I wish you all the luck. This is a true gift and even though you won't be paid you will get other rewards and this could lead to other things that might pay you. You just never know. I am really excited for you. Being useful and helping people is a grand thing. I bet your daughter will be proud of you too.

Good luck. It's always good to be useful, too.

That is really great. I am still looking for a volunteer opportunity in this area. I thought I had one set up, but something went wrong with the scheduling. I think that I may try again to connect with the person in charge, though. If that doesn't pan out, there are a few other things I can check on.

Hi PQ, I am so happy for you. You will be a wonderful ESL teacher. What a blessing that is for you, friend. Please do keep us posted.

sounds good dear PQ but how are you going to get there and back home again? Knowing you have general problems with getting transportation I worry a lot about you.

Good luck, but it gets you out of the house, and intereact with others. Also, helps the students as well. Could someone drive you at night?.

I think that's awesome and a very good use of your time. You'll feel better, just getting out and into a different atmosphere, never mind being able to help people! This could change your whole world (for the better!).

of course I wish you luck

This is awesome, PQ! I'm so happy for you. If this works out well, after awhile you may be able to find a position doing this exact thing and get paid for it. Experience is experience, paid or not, so someone down the road may see what you've been doing and decide that you are perfect for a paid job. Still, doing this on a volunteer basis is terrific for your self-esteem. It gives you something to look forward to each day. It gets you up and moving. It keeps your mind active. There are so many positive perks to this type of volunteer work. Good luck! I know you'll do very well.

I would be willing to be a volunteer too on anything that I think I can do to be of help to others. It is a nice feeling to help and share what you have in your own little way. You are right that you will also learn from the people with you around. I myself had attended a ESL but it is called Community Language Specialization Program under our local government last October of 2012. I did learned a lot and it enhanced my english skills. After graduation, we did receive a certificate of achievement or certificate of completion. You can have both certificate if you are good and you will be recommended to work in a call center that have accounts from USA countries. Luckily, I got both certificates but I didn't work in the company. I didn't accept the job offer because of the time working. Since US and my country have different time frame, our time of work will be from 8pm to 6am. We call that graveyard shift. I hope to hear more about your voulunteer work. I know you will be a great teacher and you will be a big help to your students.
