Give students the tutoring help they need! Volunteer to be a Study Zone Tutor!

The Study Zone needs dedicated volunteers to tutor elementary through high school students at the library. Use your skills in math, science, English, social studies, study methods and more!

Study Zone Tutors provide help in all subject areas up to the 6th grade level and also specialize in one or more subjects up to the college-prep level (you let us know what subjects you will tutor for middle and high school students). Each tutor works with 1-5 students in a group setting. Whenever possible the 2-hour sessions are scheduled with two or more tutors in order to provide reliable coverage.

The 2-hour weekly commitment is through the end of each session, depending on when you begin (February-June, July-August, September-January). The program is closed during school holidays/vacations (except spring break) and for two weeks at the beginning and end of summer. Academic community service credit is available for students. Schedules vary at each library and new days/locations are being added; please contact the program coordinator for possible schedules at the libraries in your area. If your preferred library is currently full, you can tutor at a nearby location or in the online Zoom program. Study Zone programs are offered as a free service of the King County Library System.

King County Library System volunteers must be Washington State residents and pass a WA State Patrol background check. Study Zone Tutors must be at least 16 years or an adult. Applications to be a Study Zone tutor are accepted throughout the year. Training and support provided.
