Volunteer Tutor FAQ:
1. Who are adult learners?
Our Adult Learners are
over the age of 18, all
races, genders, and come
from all economic and social
backgrounds. They may have
completed high school or
left before graduation, but
did not acquire the skills
for various reasons. English
Language Learners (ELL)
range from those illiterate
in their native language to
those with advanced degrees.
2. Where will I get the
training and teaching materials?
A free 6 hour training
class is provided by the
Clay County Literacy
Coalition. Additional
training and skill
development are made
available throughout the
year at no cost to you to
enrich your skills. A wide
assortment of teaching
materials is available in
our office for your use.
3. What is the time
commitment involved?
We suggest that a new
tutor meet with their adult
learner at least once or
twice a week for 1 ½ - 2
hours per session.
Maintaining this time
commitment is important in
helping the student acquire
his/her skills as quickly as
possible. We ask tutors to
consider making a commitment
for 1 year.
4. How will I be matched
with an adult learner?
Once you have completed
the training, our Tutor
Coordinator will contact you
as soon as we have an adult
learner who matches your
preferences and
availability. Most tutors
are able to get started
within a few weeks of
completing tutor training.
5. Do I need to speak a
language other than English to
tutor ?
No. All textbooks and
materials are in English,
and you are teaching English
language skills.
6. Where do our lessons
take place?
In public facilities such
as libraries, churches,
community centers, schools
and business places that
have been approved by CCLC.
