    Description

    Writing Tutor

    If you can write, you can be a writing tutor! We are always looking for people who can impart the gift of literacy to adult learners. Many of our students are seeking their GED or just want to increase their writing skills, but all of them benefit from the time and attention of a reading tutor.

    We understand the demands of a busy schedule and the importance of balancing obligations. That’s why we offer flexible tutoring options designed to fit seamlessly into your life. We work closely with you to find the best time and place for your tutoring sessions. We have daytime availability as well as flexible evening and weekend hours at the Literacy Center. Tutors and students are also welcome to choose a different location if that better suits their needs.

    Tutors can work one-on-one with students or run a small group for students with similar needs.

    We provide training and materials to empower both the tutor and the student to reach their goals.

    Volunteer are asked to commit between one to four hours per week with a student, and this time can be split into multiple tutoring sessions per week at the discretion of the tutor and the student.
