Volunteer tutors work one-on-one with adults who come to Tacoma Community House to improve their basic skills. Depending on the volunteer's skills and interests, he/she will be matched with an adult student. Tutoring subjects include reading, grammar, spelling and general vocabulary, and specialized vocabulary and study according to the individual needs of each student. Tutors volunteer 4 hours a week with the students to develop a positive relationship conducive to learning. All tutoring takes place on-site, in reserved areas at Tacoma Community House.
