An America Reads tutor 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 when Rivier 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.
The tutors personal preference, school need, and previous experience are all part of the decision making process. The Coordinator of Student Activities and Orientation and the School America Reads coordinators will make the final decisions on placement.
