Adult
Education Tutors Wanted!
Adult Education Tutors support
adult learners with English for Speakers of Other Languages, Adult Basic
Education, GED test prep, and/or basic digital skills. Before being
matched with a learner, tutors complete an online 12-hour course and receive a
digital credential through the City of Philadelphia’s Mayor’s Office of
Education. Once matched, tutors will have the support of the education
provider and will have access to ongoing professional
development opportunities.
The adult education tutor training course covers
the foundational theories and practices of tutoring adult learners with
achieving their goals. Adult learning goals include finding gainful
employment, participating more fully in society, entering
academic/vocational programs, supporting their children's education, among
others. Volunteers may serve as personal tutors, classroom aides, or other
support roles for adult learners working to achieve their goals.
