YorubaAdult Basic Literacy Instruction
One-on-one tutoring for native English speakers who want help with reading, writing, and more.
Adult Literacy tutoring can include helping learners to improve their reading, writing, basic math, or basic computer skills, or several of the above.
Our volunteer tutors work with adults who want help pursuing goals such as:
- taking high school equivalency exams
- preparing for their driver education tests
- reading their children’s papers from school
- preparing to get a job
- getting ready to take adult education courses
- improving functional life skills
The Sessions
The tutoring sessions are designed by each tutor to specifically address the individual goals, needs, abilities, learning style, and personal interests of each student. The tutor plans the sessions to include materials, activities, and exercises that relate directly to the learner’s individual reasons for seeking tutoring.
Tutoring Agreement
Adult learners and volunteer tutors are expected to commit to meeting for tutoring sessions for a minimum of once a week, for an hour, for 12 months. The learner and tutor can decide to meet more frequently than once a week if they wish. They can also decide to continue to work together beyond the 12-month period.
