Tutor Requirements

All you need is the ability to read and the desire to help others.

The volunteer tutor will work on a one-to-one basis with an adult to improve their reading and writing skills. They meet once a week for at least 2 hours at a time of mutual convenience. Tutors are expected to keep a written record of the student’s progress.

Tutor training is provided early in the fall and winter terms. Training is mandatory for new tutors.

References need to be provided and a criminal record check may be requested. For more information, call 920-3016 or drop by 4509 Franklin Ave. and fill out the application form.
