Volunteer tutors come to Midcoast Literacy having had a wide variety of professional, educational, and personal experiences. Some have been teachers, most have not. Some had wonderful, easy experiences throughout their own years in school, while others are people who struggled to learn to read and never felt like successful students. Many of our tutors are retirees but others are younger people, working and raising families. What connects all the tutors who come to Midcoast Literacy is that they want to help people in our region improve their lives through literacy, one person at a time.
A volunteer tutor can decide to work with an adult learner (in our Adult Literacy services) or a school-age student (in the Read Together program). Tutoring sessions are planned ahead of time by each tutor and held in a public place such as a library, school, public park, or at Midcoast Literacy’s offices. Many of the requirements and expectations are the same for working with either adults or children; however, there are a few additional specifications for tutors in our Read Together program for children.
