Training
To prepare you to help
your learner, we offer training sessions in Washington,
D.C., throughout the year.
The training provides practical,
hands-on information on how to work with an adult who
is learning how to read.
Our training takes place
every six to eight weeks, over two sessions in a single
week:
- Wednesday (Evening)
- Saturday (All day;
we provide breakfast and lunch)
We also ask you to cover
the cost of your materials. Your contribution enables
us to apply much-needed funds to serving our learners.
Ongoing Tutor Support:
At LVA, we continue
to support you long after you have been trained and
matched with an adult learner.
As a tutor, you have access
to these opportunities:
-
Tutor Network:
As an LVA tutor, you will join a network
of more than 120 fellow tutors who have had richly
varied experiences. You have opportunities to interact
with your fellow tutors through tutor networking
sessions, a tutor listserve, and special events.
-
Resource Library:
You are welcome to visit our resource library, where
you can peruse materials, make copies, and talk
to staff.

Online
