| Upcoming Tutor Training Programs |
LPNJ is unique among social service organizations in that we offer a free tutoring program for adults who are in need of learning English as a Second Language, or Basic Literacy skills in reading and writing. They are usually very low-level learners and our program provides a 'safety net' for these learners. Our trained tutors provide customized instructional plans that meet the goals set by both the tutor and the student.
The Tutor Training program is a 12 hour course. Trainees are taught the main principles of adult learning and the program is divided into four main content areas:
√ listening skills
√ speaking skills
√ reading skills
√ writing skills
After the trainees complete the course and have completed the required assignments, they are then matched with learners. LPNJ asks each tutor for a commitment of meeting with their student or small group for a minimum of 2 hours per week for one year.
If you are interested in making a difference in someone's life, please join us for one of our trainings!
