Become a Tutor: Help an adult learn English or improve basic reading & writing at your Library

Flexible Schedule | Santa Rosa, CA 95404

Become a volunteer Adult Literacy-English Language tutor. Help an adult in your community achieve their learning and language goals. Adults are currently waiting to be matched with a tutor at Sonoma County Libraries. We have a need for more tutors at libraries in: Santa Rosa (multiple library sites in Santa Rosa), Windsor, and Rohnert Park right now. We also want to welcome tutors who are available evenings and weekends. If you can tutor 2 hours a week at any of these library locations, please let us know, so we can contact you and help you register for our 2025 New Tutor orientation and training dates - which take place on Zoom and online. All training and resources are FREE for volunteer tutors and adult learners. Our next orientation will be held on Zoom: JANUARY 15th at 9:00 am - 10:30 am. Contact us now to find our more and to pre-register for this orientation-training date. Email: literacy@sonomalibrary.org or call 707-544-2622. We are looking for empathetic volunteers who want to help an adult learner improve their reading, writing & English language skills in order to achieve their chosen goals. No formal teaching experience necessary. Bilingual tutors are welcome, but you do not need to be bilingual to tutor. Free training and materials are provided by our library literacy office. Flexible hours and library locations throughout the county are often possible and based on need once orientation on Zoom and online training is completed during the 4 weeks that follow the orientation date (there are nine self-paced online training modules). What We Do: Sonoma County Library Adult Literacy Services provides FREE training, support and materials to adult learning partners, who meet one-to-one for weekly tutoring sessions at their local Sonoma County library 2 hours each week. Tutors volunteer 2 hours a week to meet with an adult learner and they also submit monthly hours/instruction reports online at the end of each month. The next NEW tutor orientation will be online via Zoom: Wednesday, JANUARY 15th at 9:00 am - 10:30 am. Tutoring takes place in-person at your local library branch after orientation and training is complete and schedules have been mutually agreed upon with a potential learning partner. Contact us today and we will help you register for our January 125h 9:00 am - 10:30 am Zoom orientation-training date or the next one scheduled for February 19th from 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm.
