Tutoring
Volunteer tutors are the strength behind community literacy programs like the Learning Centre for Georgina. As with students, tutors are asked to complete a tutor application form indicating their area of occupation, previous volunteer experience, hobbies, skills and interests, level of education and availability. Once the application form is completed, it is filed with other tutors who are waiting to be matched with a student. Tutors are provided with orientation and training. The tutor is given some basic information about the student and a first meeting is arranged at the Learning Centre.
Both tutors and students are asked to sign a "Statement of Confidentiality."
Tutors and students should meet for a minimum of two hours per week. Tutors are asked to make this commitment for at least six months.
Please read our detailed position description to find out more and then call, drop in or email to find out about how to become a tutor for LCG and to find out about our next Tutor Training Session. Looking forward to hearing from you!
