The one to one tutoring program is the main function of the Trent Valley Literacy Association and was the reason the Literacy Centre “came to be” originally. Here are a few points about what is involved in the one to one tutoring program:

Firstly, a new student will approach the Literacy Centre (in person, at 139 Douro Street or on the phone (705) 749-0777) to set up their first appointments.

The Program manager will obtain the student’s information from the initial intake and assessment appointments.

A learning plan is prepared, with a student centered focus about what the long term goals are and how they will be achieved; the students have the final word on what they want to do and how.

• The Program managers will match and support students with tutors.
• Literacy tutoring is available for adults 19 years of age or older.
  Trained, volunteer tutors will help the students with basic reading, writing, and math.
• Instruction is confidential with one-to-one tutoring.
• Lessons occur once or twice (or possibly even more) a week at the convenience of the tutor and student.
• A computer lab with top notch software and equipment is available for tutors and students to use for working on their assignments.
