Love this job! I teach ESL in a non-profit, community agency that serves adult immigrants living in the U.S. My current students come from Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cape Verde, El Salvador, Guatemala, Somalia, Venezuela, Brazil, Rwanda, Puerto Rico and Angola. I can imagine nothing better than getting to work with the many people I do.
