If you are interested in becoming a volunteer tutor, we welcome you to join us at any time during the year. We strive to maintain a good-sized pool of volunteers so we can match time, locations, and transportation needs with those of our learners. Training for new tutors is offered quarterly, with on-going support and individual assistance available through the coordinator. Occasionally, most college students need assistance with class assignments or may struggle with a new concept. Our tutors understand the anxiety that some students feel and can help students with specific needs.
Many students become effective learners through the public education system.
They are able to attend classes, build relationships with their instructors, and work independently. Other students have difficulty. They may have responsibilities at home or at work that prevent attendance in a classroom program. They may have specific disabilities which make it difficult to attend, or they may not possess the basic skills, study habits or confidence to be effective learners. All of these students benefit from individualized instruction by a tutor.
