Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley needs volunteers who can help Tri-City residents speak English and assimilate to life in our community. A free tutor training workshop will be held 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays January 18, 20, 25, and 27 at the St. Charles Public Library.
The workshop will teach residents how to tutor adults in English and will discuss the problems adults face when they know little about American norms and customs. Once you complete training, you will be matched with one adult learner and teach one hour per week. Staff members will provide continuing support.
No prior teaching experience is necessary. Volunteers do not need to know a second language. According to learners, the most successful tutors are patient, good listeners and give practical information. Volunteers teach in public places such as local libraries.
