As an America Reads tutor you may work at least four but no more than 10 hours per week during the elementary school day. The typical commitment is one academic year. Tutors will work whenRivier College is in session while observing the schedules of the host schools. Tutors will not work when either the college or the schools are closed. The America Reads Coordinator and the teachers at the host schools will train tutors.
Tutors are responsible for attending all training and orientation sessions.
Your personal preference, school need, and previous experience are all part of the decision making process. The Coordinator of Student Activities and Orientation will make the final decisions on placement. Tutors have received a service learning credit for participation in America Reads. Credits received are determined on an individual basis. Please contact Darlene Nadeau at extension 8658.
