Fall Tutor Training Workshop

Literacy Volunteers Valley Shore is accepting application for our Fall 2026 Tutor Training Workshop. No experience needed for this enriching experience – only a desire to have fun, learn another culture and help someone in our community!  Through our 12-hour program conducted over eight sessions, individuals learn how to teach English to adult residents from around the world who want to learn or improve their English language skills. Potential tutors choose either the AM sessions from 9:30-11-00AM or the evening sessions from 7-8:30PM. The morning sessions are held in person at our office in the Westbrook Library and the evening session are a hybrid of in person and virtual via Zoom.

The next training workshop is the following dates 9/24, 9/29,  10/1, 10/6, 10/13, 10/22, 10/27, 10/29. All sessions must be attended to complete the workshop. We also have an online self-facilitated training option available for those unable to attend these workshops but would still like to be trained as an LVVS tutor.  We ask for a $40 donation for the training materials provided. If you are interested in becoming a tutor you can fill out an application on our website www.lvvs.org. If you would like more information, please contact the Literacy Volunteers office at (860) 399-0280 or by e-mail at info@lvvs.org
