I posted a while ago that I was teaching English as a volunteer through a program at the library. What this has taught me is that I don't know grammar rules!!! At least not well enought to just spit them out when asked.
Try to explain to someone who has no context at all of what you are talking about the difference between -this-that-these-those or which-what-whose.
This girl is eager to learn so I have to get it right!!
I have found alot of sites that have helped right now this one is my favorite

Literacy for Life
I spent this past Saturday in a 6 hour training class. Why would I give up my Saturday for a training class?
Because I am going to teach someone how to read.
I am excited about this opportunity. I was looking for volunteer opportunities in Plano and ran across Literacy for Life. One of my favorite things to do is read and I just couldn't imagine not being able to do it. So I decided I would dedicate a Saturday to learn and 2 hours a week with a student and teach them how to do something I treasure. I haven't met my student yet but I know she is a 36 yr old woman who wants to learn to read so that she can help her young daughter in school. I hope I am successful.
