Become a Tutor

In general, we ask that volunteer tutors commit to our program for at least one year, meeting with one or more students at least one hour each week.

Once you’ve picked a date for New Tutor Training, fill out the Registration Form and return it to our office by email, mail or fax no later than one week before the selected date. 

After attending one of the face-to-face New Tutor Training sessions, HLC tutors will have four weeks to complete an online training course provided by Florida Literacy Coalition. HLC tutors will be able to work through the course at their own pace while interacting with fellow students and a course facilitator. The online program will serve to enhance the face-to-face training provided to new HLC tutors. Details about the online component to New Tutor Training will be covered during the face-to-face training session.

There is a registration fee for New Tutor Training. The fee is $20.00, or $15.00 for those 65 years old and older. The registration fee offsets the cost of training materials and student books.

Please note that registration forms for the training session on February 11, 2011, must be received no later than Friday, February 3. Registration forms submitted after the deadline will automatically be processed for the next available training date.
