The OASIS Intergenerational Tutoring Program promotes literacy with a proven approach to help children read at grade level. Since 1993, the San Antonio OASIS Intergenerational Tutoring has paired adults age 50 and older with children in grades 1-3 to promote success in reading. Volunteers are needed to spend one hour a week with the same child throughout the school year. OASIS Tutors have been helping children build reading skills, self-esteem and positive attitudes toward learning.
- No teaching experience is required
- Must be over 50 years of age or older
- Free training is provided
- Hours are flexible for vacations and appointments
- Choose the school and grade level you prefer to tutor
You will need to pass a background check, (no cost to you), attend orientation and tutor training. Once you are trained, you select a school from our extensive list in 3 school districts then use books, learning materials, and supplies all provided by OASIS to help a child learn to read.
Please call for training dates in 2023 - 210-236-5954 Ginny Brown
