Tutor Trainings

Once you've attended a volunteer orientation, what's the next step? Well, if you're interested in working as a tutor at drop-in starting in January or with our in-schools programming, you need to attend a tutor training! Tutor trainings last about an hour, during which we will go over helpful tips & tricks, role-play our new tutoring skills, and talk about strategies for working with students of different ages, skills, and needs. Here are the dates for the next tutor trainings:
