Being a one-to-one tutor in an adult learning program is a very rewarding experience. To see someone who has struggled with a particularsubject or concept, and then to see the reaction when the problem is solved is gratifying. As in any organization,it is also an opportunity to make new friends and experience learning from different points of view.
For the student, there is the advantage of one to one assistance,affording them more time with an instructor. There is also the opportunity to ask questions of the tutor they may not feel comfortable asking in front of a group.
“The services that CALA provides are invaluable. As a volunteer tutor, I have had the privilege to work with a man who has the courage and determination to work towards changing his life by improving his literacy skills. I learned from him that through honesty, perseverance, and a great sense of humor, we can transcend limitations and discover ourselves to be capable of far more than we ever imagined. “ -Amy Sangster
Volunteering at CALA has been a great experience. You always get more out of it than what you put in. ~David
