The adult literacy Math Tutor volunteer provides one-to-one tutoring to an adult who wants to improve their basic math skills for everyday life or work, and/or in preparation to pass the GED/HiSET Math exam.
Sacramento Public Library is looking for patient tutors with strong math skills who want to share their love of math with those in need of help with basic math concepts and/or higher level math skills. Specific topics may include fractions, decimals, pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry.
Ability to teach math creatively and relate it in simple terms to everyday life is a bonus!

Our tutoring program is learner-centered, based on each adult learner's personal, literacy-related goals, such as write an email message, help a child with homework, get a better job, or get a driver license. Annually, we help about 250-350 learners improve their skills and reach their goals with the help of over 200 volunteer tutors who provide 15,000-20,000 instructional hours. Reading-writing and/or English language instructional materials are provided to assist the learner with skill development, but these should be complemented by additional real-life materials, resources, and other practice activities to help the learner achieve their personal goals. Tutors are not expected to stick to a set curriculum or timeline but instead are encouraged to be creative and learn what works best for their learner, and what motivates their learner.
