  • Once matched with a Learner from our waiting list, you and your Learner will determine a convenient study schedule.

Tutor Training

Benefits

  • Learners usually improve at least one grade level after 45-55 hours of tutoring and experience increased self-esteem, reduced need for public assistance, and improved job opportunities.
  • Families find that as parents’ educational levels rise, the children experience more success at school.
  • Our economy improves as Learners earn higher wages, therefore reducing the need for public assistance, increasing buying power and tax revenues.

We are in constant need of volunteers to sustain our program. Please take the first step to join us by completing our easy Tutor Volunteer Intake Form. Thank you for your interest in Adult Literacy and in helping  your community!
