Steps to Become a Tutoring Student
-
Compete Student Application
-
Schedule a day to take an evaluation test so we can see where you are with your literacy skills. The test takes about two hours.
-
Upon completion of the test, a volunteer will contact within a week to 10 days to schedule an interview to talk about your learning goals.
-
You will then be placed on a waitlist for a tutor. The wait for a tutor is typically about 1-2 months.
Support for this program is provided by:
