If you can read this, you can be an Adult Tutor!
Our adult learners need your help! You can help provide valuable support to individuals throughout our community looking to improve basic literacy and life skills including reading comprehension, writing abilities, and basic math.
Tutors work one-on-one with individuals seeking assistance in a variety of short and long term projects including writing essays, reading books, completing homework assignments, and preparing for the GED and College Entrance Exams. No teaching experience required. We provide the training and the tools. You provide the outgoing personality and drive to help others.
Our Adult Tutoring program is offered as a drop-in service, meaning there are no appointments and tutors are not matched with specific individuals. Tutors help all patrons who show up looking for help on a first come, first served basis. Apply today and help adults get on the right track for success in life.
