PORTLAND — LearningWorks, a West End nonprofit that offers a variety of free education programs, including one-on-one tutoring for adult immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, is looking for more volunteer tutors.
There are 25 people on the wait list to be matched with a volunteer tutor.
Any fluent English speaker with some free time to commit to the program is eligible to become a tutor. Tutors must have the ability to work independently, patiently and with the openness to learn as much from their student as they’re teaching. A minimum commitment of 1.5 hours a week for at least six months is required.
Contact Volunteer Manager Nicole Labbe at nlabbe@learningworks.me or 517-3123 or visit learningworks.me to find out how to apply.
Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
