Would you like to teach adult learners?

As a volunteer tutor, you can help McHenry County College reach a diverse population of students who have a real desire to learn. These students need and appreciate the help and time you give to them.

• Volunteers provide instruction in reading, writing, or English as a Second Language.
• Flexible work schedules are available. Volunteers are needed mornings, afternoons, and evenings.
• Volunteers may work one-on-one with a student or they may work in the adult education classes to provide individualized help.

Do you want to work as a tutor close to home?

One-on-one tutors work in the public libraries throughout McHenry County. Tutors choose the days and times that they are available and then a match is made with a student.

To become a volunteer:

• You need to complete basic training which includes five state required workshops.
• English as a Second Language tutors are not required to speak a second language because workshops prepare tutors to work with various levels of students.

Free orientations and basic training are offered throughout the year. They are designed for the active person who needs flexibility for scheduling multiple responsibilities.

Volunteers need to observe in a classroom before attending an orientation. To schedule an observation or for more information, contact Jane Brehm at (815) 455-8542.

All orientations are held at MCC. Spring orientations will be held February 2, March 1, and April 1.

For further information, please call Jane Brehm at (815) 455-8542.

This project was made possible in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library (ISL), a division of the Office of Secretary of State, using state funds designated for literacy.
