Wilkinson Center is looking for volunteers to provide individual and small group tutoring to students in our adult education program. Assist students in improving academic achievement by meeting with them on a regular basis to clarify learning problems and work on study skills. Other assistance might include: reviewing class material, discussing the text, predicting test questions, formulating ideas for papers, or working on solutions to problems. Tutoring is a supplement to classroom teaching. Tutors are not expected to know everything about the subject for which they tutor. Tutoring sessions will take place Monday through Thursday, 11:00AM to 12:45PM at Eastfield College, Pleasant Grove Campus (802 N. Buckner Boulevard, Dallas).
Requirements
- Be punctual for all scheduled tutoring sessions. It is your responsibility to notify us as soon as possible if you cannot meet with your students.
- Complete and hand in all required paperwork (volunteer application, background check, interview and site visit).
- We require a commitment of at least one day a week.
Qualifications
- Thorough knowledge in basic reading, writing and math
- Responsible, dependable, honest, and mature.
- Friendly, patient, and sensitive to a diversity of students.
