This community service program has four areas of focus, namely learning management, tenses learning model, human resources and supporting competencies. The method used is provision and mentoring. The solution will be implemented through the following methods and stages: 1. Socialization and Deliberation, 2. Training and Provision, 3. Implementation of competency in teaching tenses and ICT Media, 4. Mentoring and Evaluation, 5. Program Sustainability. In implementing this Community Service Program, the science and technology used by the implementing team is the implementation of the Wrench and TOEFL Approach which are provided and used in carrying out provision and mentoring to partners. The wrench and TOEFL approach were chosen because of their effectiveness, systematicity and ease of learning even for beginners, considering that implementers have limited time to achieve maximum results.
