One to One Instruction
You can work individually with a tutor in the library for 1-2 hours per week. We have a waiting list for this service, and the wait is about 3-6 months.
To sign up, call Laurie Christie at 508-647-6400 x1583 or e-mail literacy@morseinstitute.org.
ESOL Tutor Training Series
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer tutor, visit Literacy Unlimited to learn about tutor training.
Volunteer tutors must speak, read, and write English clearly and correctly and have a high school diploma or equivalent. You do not need to speak another language to help someone learn English.
Tutoring can be done on your schedule at local libraries (Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, or Marlborough).
