Description

You can become a literacy tutor for adult basic students. ABE students are native English speakers who read below the 8th grade level. Training workshops are regularly scheduled throughout the year to provide tutors with instruction on various teaching techniques. Opportunities for tutoring include either one-on-one or small group. Topics include reading, spelling, math, writing, basic computer skills, and pre-GED preparation (including science and social studies).
