Tutor Training FAQCan I register for training online? No, since we ask volunteers to attend an orientation first, training registration is not online. You may register for an ABCs of Washtenaw Literacy information session. If you have attended an ABCs already, please call (734) 879-1320 to register for training. What if I cannot attend every day of the tutor training for personal tutoring? We do offer make ups if needed. Volunteers can miss a maximum of 6 hours of training. However, if a volunteer will miss more than 3 hours, we recommend they wait until the next training as the make-ups can not recreate the group work and learning process of the training. Why is the training required for personal tutoring and recommended for group tutoring? A personal tutor works one-on-one or in a small assigned cluster with learners from the first day of tutoring. The 15-hour tutor training prepares a tutor to plan goal-oriented lessons using authentic materials. A group tutor works as part of a larger group. During each group session, there are other tutors and a group coordinator on-site to offer support. Each opportunity offers different, but rewarding, experiences. Is there a cost for training? There is a $25 cost for the personal tutor training. This covers the cost of the text book and coursepack that every trainee receives. However, there are scholarships available for any attendee. There is no charge for the group tutor training. |
