Spanish-speaking Tutors Needed!

Save to Favorites

Azura Literacy's virtual reading tutor program pairs volunteers with underserved elementary kids to help improve their reading skills and instill a love of reading. Volunteers read with students one-on-one on Zoom, sharing digital children's books and materials to help kids read independently and listen to read-alouds. Many of our students are Spanish-speaking, and their parents would like assistance helping them read in English. We are in need of more tutors who are bilingual in English/Spanish. This program is virtual, so volunteers can serve from anywhere! Volunteer requirements: at least 18 years old bilingual (English-Spanish) have basic computer skills (use of internet, Zoom, and web browsers) have a laptop or desktop computer and solid internet connection pass a background check/fingerprint clearance pass a literacy screening interview with the program director attend a multi-day virtual training session available to commit to at least one hour per week (split into two 30-minute sessions) available to commit to at least one semester (12-15 weeks in Fall, Spring, or Summer) During the school year, our reading sessions are on Mondays/Wednesdays or Tuesdays/Thursdays every half hour between 3:30pm-6:30pm. During the summer, reading sessions are Mon/Thurs, Tues/Fri, or Wed/Sat between 10am-7pm.
