Hello!
Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts trains volunteers to provide free, individualized, and confidential tutoring to adults in the areas of literacy (basic reading skills for native and proficient/fluent English speakers) and ESOL (English for speakers of other languages). Tutoring occurs in-person or, with some of our English Learners, online.
You do not have to have any experience teaching or tutoring to be a successful tutor. We run free 18-hour Basic Literacy and ESOL trainings throughout the year. Our next two trainings run from April 30th-early June in the evenings via Zoom. To find out more about these trainings and other opportunities throughout the year, sign up for an upcoming volunteer information session here: https://forms.gle/T98rZuWKJKzyNGpRA.
You may also text, email, or call me to learn general information about our program or register for an information session.
NOTE: The Basic Literacy training begins April 30th; ESOL begins May 16th. Please be in touch as soon as possible if you think you may want to join a Basic Literacy training.
I look forward to hearing from you. We have a long list of adults waiting to be tutored, so every tutor counts!
Sincerely,
Eleanor
