Be a part of our team and make a difference in someone’s life: YOURS!

The most important lesson I have learned from Project Read is the heart-to-heart connection between a learner and a tutor. The supportive and caring Project Read community has enhanced our learning experience. - Jan, Volunteer Tutor

Tutor Training

Join us for a free 13-hour tutor training. During the four training sessions you will learn innovative strategies for teaching adults. Here are some of the things youll learn:

  • How to teach reading and phonics
  • How to build comprehension skills

After receiving the free tutor training, you will be matched with an adult learner. Project Read will supply you with free workbooks to help your learner and ongoing support.
