Residents who want to help adults read, write, speak and understand English will want to attend Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley’s free tutor training workshop. It will meet from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays April 6, 8, 13 and 15 at the St. Charles Public Library.
The workshop will teach you how to tutor adults in English while discussing the issues people face when they have little knowledge of the American culture. Once you complete training, you will be matched with one adult learner and teach one hour per week.
Volunteers do not need to know a second language or have a background in education to help. According to learners, the most successful tutors are patient, are good listeners and give practical information. Staff members will provide continuing support.
