Default Re: Frustrated: How do I get Teaching Experience?

If you're interested in working as a volunteer, check with Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA) in your area. LVA has an active ESOL program in just about every major city in the country. You can choose to teach one-on-one or in a class setting (I've found the class setting much easier). You set your own schedule, so the amount of teaching experience you get is up to you. I should think that if you taught 3 or 4 evenings per week @ 2 hours per class, prospective employers would be impressed that you want to teach so much that you would do it for nothing. Good luck.
