Matthew volunteered at the Washington English Center from March 2019 through March 2022 as an online and in-person volunteer ESOL co-teacher and tutor. He taught a range of beginner and intermediate levels and received the “Most Versatile Team Player” award for teaching six different levels during his time with WEC.
Additionally, he created a warm and welcoming classroom environment for our students and was always reliable, enthusiastic, and extremely well-prepared for class. Excellent teacher!
