Adult
Literacy Tutors
"Volunteers
are
not paid -- not because they are worthless,
but because they are priceless. "
Literacy
Volunteers
of Waterville's tutors are trained to
provide student-centered tutoring services. Each tutor
works with his
or her learner to identify both short and long term goals
and creates
individualized lesson plans that focus on meeting those
goals. Students
and tutors use real-life materials, such as newspapers,
job
applications, recipes, and voting ballots, in their
lessons.
Our
tutors
receive training to become
certified ProLiteracy tutors. We provide
opportunities for
continued education and recertification through our
workshops.
Each tutor commits approximately 1 - 2 hours weekly
working with his or her
adult learner. Many of our tutors have been with
Literacy
Volunteers for years, enjoying the reward of improving the
quality of
life of their students through the gift of literacy.
