Adult Literacy Tutor - English Language Learners (ELL) - Ventura County Library Locations

Become a Volunteer Adult Literacy Tutor - English Language Learner (ELL)!

Ventura County Library’s READ Adult Literacy Program helps adults improve their reading and writing skills so that they can perceive a positive impact on their lives in such areas as self-esteem, employment, family life, and community involvement. This is a new program - we are seeking dynamic volunteers to lead small group events or hold one-on-one tutoring sessions with English Language Learners.

Our locations are throughout Ventura County and are listed here:

• https://www.vencolibrary.org/locations

As a tutor, you will be:

• Trained to provide free one-to-one reading and writing instruction, along with ELL best practices.
• Paired with an adult learner at a library location convenient for you.
• Or, lead a small group event focused on practicing conversational English.
• Expected to meet as a pair, or lead a small group, for about an hour a week.

Our main goals include:

• Developing students' receptive English language skills of listening and reading comprehension.
• Developing students' productive English language skills in speaking and writing.

The benefits of tutoring include:

• Helping change someone’s life and positively impacting the community.
• Building tutoring experience and developing a professional network in adult education.
