Who are the learners?
Our learners are teens and adults who wish to develop basic skills in reading, writing, and conversational English. They come from all walks of life and many countries.
How do I become a
volunteer?
Our tutor training program is state-of-the-art. Our trainers use hands-on methods to train
volunteers for tutoring and teaching in various areas.
How much time does it take?
Tutors and learners meet weekly or more frequently for 1-2 hours for six months or longer.
What are my responsibilities?
Depending on the type of training
done, tutors and teachers prepare and implement lesson plans
and/or use computer and materials resources to assist their learners. At the end of each month, tutors
and teachers report their hours as well as learner's progress to the office. The office staff is available to help during business hours.
Can I sponsor a learner?
LVCC's services reach over 150 adults each year. It costs about $500 to support one adult learner in our program for a year. This figure includes the cost of language assessment, tutor training, and general operational expenses. Your contribution at this level would make a significant difference in one learner's life.
