Monthly Reports:

Tutors, this is imperative. Without these reports, we cannot quantify the number of wonderful volunteer hours you dedicate to our program. Failure to quantify volunteer hours means we cannot purchase the materials we provide to you and your student at no cost. These reports also help us keep track of the success of our students. You may email completed reports. Please feel free to print out a monthly progress reports if you need a new form at files/MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT REV(1).doc (note that report was revised June 2011).
 

Helpful websites:  Tutors and students sometimes request additional tutoring tools such as extra exercises, grammar tips, writing techniques, games, etc. Please see files/list of key websites.doc for additional helpful tools (last revised July 2011). If you know of any other helpful materials please share with us!

 

"Learn From Our Students" Project:

We are actively seeking written comments from our students as to how our program has made a difference in their lives. Please encourage YOUR students to write a short paragraph about how tutoring has influenced their lives (or have them write a one paragraph story or poem) and thanking you and Literacy Services for helping them improve their literacy skills.
