Volunteer Literacy Tutor Program
The Volunteer Literacy Tutor Program at the Penticton Campus of Okanagan College is seeking volunteer tutors to help develop the literacy and numeracy skills of adult learners....
Extra informationOur volunteer tutors receive free tutor training, which helps them better understand our program, and provides them with effective skills to use in their one-to-one tutoring sessions with adult learners in their community. Our program offers learners help with reading, writing, oral language skills, and basic math skills. We provide teaching materials, suggestions, and support to the volunteer tutors.
Our program is free for adult learners.
We are committed to the following guiding principles:
Adults learn best when they determine their goals and then actively participate in their learning. Learning occurs in a safe, respectful, supportive environment that promotes cooperation. Language and communication skills, combined with the learners' knowledge and experiences, are integrated to reflect content meaningful to the learners. The needs of the learners are met by integrating a diverse range of strategies and resources.
