Adult Literacy Tutor Volunteer Opportunities

Short Opportunity Summary:  To help English speaking and non-English speaking adults, 18 years of age or older, learn to speak, understand, read, and write English to meet self identified goals.

Full Description of Opportunity:  Significantly impact on the life of an adult whose limited literacy or English language skill is a problem in their everyday life.

Encourage and support adult learners by:

· Helping them develop confidence and positive attitude about learning

· Respecting them and involving them in decisions about the learning process

· Working with Senior Literacy Tutors and adult learners in selecting materials and approaches that are suitable for the learners ability and needs

· Offering support and praise

· Meeting regularly and punctually

Where possible skills are taught in a way that relates to the day-to-day life of learners with individualised learning plans. Many learners already have basic skills but need help to polish them, some need to learn from scratch and others need more in-depth, specialist help. Volunteers may support our Literacy Tutors in a group or offer one-to-one support.

Location: One-to-one or small group tutoring sessions at Craigowl Communities The Learning Place, 235 – 237 Hilltown, Dundee, DD3 7AN
