Why not Volunteer to Teach an Adult?
Do you enjoy reading, writing, or math? Are you strong in these subjects? Are you interested in helping others? Why not invest in your community by teaching someone to speak English, read, write or calculate? One to two hours a week can make a real difference in a life.
You don’t need to have any special skills. We supply the materials. Our materials are designed to assist tutors in helping students. All you need is a willingness to help others.
