Please call our training coordinator, Eleanor Fuller at 401-247-2177 for information on how you can become a tutor as well as the dates, times and location of our next tutor training session.
Literacy Volunteers of East Bay provides free 1-1 tutoring or small group instruction to area adults, helping them with reading, writing, math and/or English speaking skills. In addition support is provided to students enrolled in GED programs. Our volunteer tutors attend an 8 hour interactive training session to learn tutoring techniques and best practices for working with adult learners. Upon completion of the training tutors are matched with a student. Together they determine a mutually convenient time and place to meet for 2 hours per week. Our coordinators provide ongoing support wo both students and tutors.
Discover that helping an adult learner can be a truly rewarding experience.
