Tutors begin their service with a comprehensive training designed to provide a toolkit of reading/writing and language learning strategies to apply with Durham Literacy Center students.
There are two steps involved in becoming a volunteer tutor.
First, attend one of our brief orientation sessions to learn about our different programs and which one is the best fit for you. Second, attend a comprehensive 12-hour training in the program that you choose. Tutors need not have prior experience in teaching to become involved in this work.
