World Relief Memphis’ Connect Language Center provides quality, accessible English instruction to the immigrant community. Adult English learners build the language skills needed to succeed and thrive. We prioritize student placement in level-appropriate classes and supply a curriculum with materials/resources to support instructors.

As a part-time/contracted ESL instructor, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping adult non-native speakers improve their English skills, which are crucial for navigating daily life and building a successful future in Memphis. Our students are dedicated, resilient, and motivated to learn!
