I just finished two full days of training and now am a certified tutor with Laubach Literacy Ontario. It was an exhausting two days, but gave a good foundation for helping adults with literacy challenges.
The motto of Laubach is “each one, teach one” and tutors are partnered up with adult students who may share the same interests. I will be volunteering for two hours per week minimum for at least one year. Students and tutors meet either in rooms at the Literacy Group or rooms provided by the public library.
My preference will be involvement in group computer training, which is also offered, but I will be starting off one on one. Hopefully, computer skills can be woven into the reading and writing activities.
Since client privacy is a number one priority, I won’t be sharing any specifics of my tutoring, but you can go ahead and ask me general questions about the program if you like. Oh, and the tutoring is provided without any charge except for the odd workbook.
