online Tutor Orientation
prior to enrollment is required.
If you can
read and write fluently, you can help an adult to read, write or speak English
better. Literacy Volunteers - HBPL has tutor training workshops throughout the
year. The 15-hour class teaches Literacy Volunteers of America methods for
helping adults improve their skills. After taking the class, you are matched
with one adult student. You meet two hours a week, morning, afternoon, evening
or weekend. The Huntington Beach Library Adult Literacy Program has a
collection of teaching materials, a computer lab and space in the library for
tutor pairs to meet.
Becoming a
Literacy tutor at either Central or Oak View starts with the successful
completion of Tutor
Orientation. Learn all about our program, adults who come to us, and much
more. There will be three (3) places to submit answers. Once we receive notice
you have completed orientation, we will contact you with the next training
dates.
If you have
questions, please email literacy@surfcity-hb.org,
