Tutors' Section
LCN relies on
volunteer tutors to assist those adults needing instruction in
reading, writing, math, GED, or English as a second language. Our
tutors put in many hours and we appreciate all that they do!

Becoming A Tutor
Sign
up for our Tutor Training Workshops.
Tutors are
asked to make at least a six-month commitment to tutoring once they
are trained, usually two 2-hour sessions per week. Scheduling is
worked out between you and your student.
You do NOT need
to speak Spanish or another language to tutor English. First of all,
we have students speaking many different languages who need English
help--Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Arabic just to name a
few. Secondly, speaking the student's native language can actually
hinder the student's learning English, because they might "fall
back" on their first language when trying to express themselves to
their tutor instead of trying to communicate in English.
Tutors should
plan to tutor in a public place (ex. LCN, local libraries, local
churches) rather than in the tutor's or student's home. You will be
given a library list at your workshop.
Workshops
for Tutors
We offer Tutor
Training Workshops four times a year--if you know of someone who
is interested in tutoring, please let them know about LCN.

The Literacy Council of Norristown could not exist without its
dedicated tutors. We would like to recognize our tutors for their
years of service to our community.
