Become an adult literacy tutor!
We are accepting virtual tutors located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
Do you have a passion for reading, writing, math, or ESL and want to make a positive difference in another person's life and in your community? Contact AACLC to receive training to become a volunteer tutor!
Once trained, we will match you with a student who can meet at a convenient day and time for you. When social distancing restrictions are lifted, tutoring can occur at all 16 county libraries and in any public location in Anne Arundel County. Meeting in the evenings and/or on weekends are not a problem. We ask that tutors meet with their students, on average, for 2 hours per week, but you and your student would work out your weekly schedule and agree to take time off for holidays, birthdays, vacations, etc.. This flexibility in scheduling is a big plus. We ask for an initial six-month commitment to your student. Please email Jane Seiss at director@aaclc.org or call the office at 410-269-4419 for more information. https://icanread.org
