Literacy Volunteers of Atlanta

LVA’s English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program includes one-on-one tutoring and/or small group conversation classes to maximize students’ success. Adults who are in need of English skills are matched with a tutor who will assist them in learning English while focusing on special-needs areas. Similarly to LVA’s Adult Basic Literacy programs, the course work for ESOL is student-centered. For example, neighbors who may wish to prepare for the Test of English as a Second Language (TOEFL), might focus on course work in preparation for the exam as part of their session. Adults who are comfortable in a group environment are encouraged to participate in LVA’s group conversation classes at local libraries around Metro Atlanta. LVA trains volunteers who provide the group instruction at the libraries.

If you are interested in becoming an ESOL Tutor or a group conversation class leader, please complete our tutor application form and fax or mail it to our office.

If you are already an ESOL tutor, you can access the tutor report form here. You can also access additional training from the Verizon Literacy Campus online.
