Tutor Information
Our volunteer tutors are the heart of our program. Becoming a tutor will enable you to make a profound difference in a person’s life.
Our literacy tutors help adult students with reading, writing, and English acquisition skills for one hour per week. Volunteers should be prepared to make a full-year commitment to the program, technology skills are a plus. Training will consist of orientation with the program manager to discuss availability and student preferences, virtual or in-person preparation, and studying the literacy tutor training books/materials.
*Some of our matches are meeting virtually on platforms such as Zoom, WhatsApp, or FaceTime. These meetings, along with emails and phone calls, are all considered instructional time.
