Share Your Talents!

Two unique features of the Adult Learning Center are:

• A strong focus on one-to-one instruction
• Over 100 volunteer tutors, who bring with them years of teaching and tutoring experience each week

Tutors choose the day and time they wish to serve each week. You may choose one day (or more)! Monday through Thursday (we are always closed Friday). Our regular program runs from September through May.

Online tutoring still generally happens within these time blocks, but more flexibility is possible:

• Morning Class: 9am - 11:30am
• Evening Class: 4pm - 6:30pm

A variety of training is provided:

• Tutor training from their classroom's lead teacher
• Annual orientation
• Ongoing training
• Mentoring from experienced tutors

What is “Online” Tutoring?

We are offer both in-person and online classroom learning experiences to our students. Classes are led by a certified GED instructor, and supported by live tutors (in-person and online). All tutors are fully trained - not only in using the video conferencing and screen sharing technology required for online learning, but they are also trained in the finer points of Adult Basic Education tutoring. Our veteran volunteers join in the training sessions to share their first-hand experiences and answer any questions new volunteers may have. 

ALC staff also offers on-site tech training for smaller groups of students who don't have either the hardware, or the digital literacy skills to engage in remote learning on their own. Any on-site student interaction is by appointment only. Masks are required, and the building is professionally cleaned daily.
