Tutors help their partners become more skilled and self confident, gain greater independence, and increase their ability to support themselves and their families. Tutors themselves benefit in many ways. They enjoy sharing skills and learning about other countries and cultures. They make new friends and help our own community to work better. After completing the training, tutors are placed with an individual student, a small group, or in an ESL classroom.
Tutors work with their learner once or twice a week for at least six months.
Volunteers work with learners to identify these needs and to set goals. Instruction takes place in public places convenient to both tutor and learner.
