LVM offers volunteers who wish to become tutors, a combined training
program that enables them to tutor both Basic Literacy (BL) students,
who need help in learning to read and write, and English as a Second
Language (ESL) students, foreign-born adults who want to improve their
ability to understand and speak the English language.
LVM provides a comprehensive participatory training totaling 25 hours
of instruction. Classes are offered in the libraries of Middlesex
county in the daytime, evening or on Saturdays.
Tutoring is conducted entirely in English so that students can acquire
the conversational skills needed to take part in everyday life, to
find employment, and to obtain citizenship.
