Who can be in your program?
Adults
18 years and older can register.
How much does it cost?
There is no
charge. Our program is free to our students.
How long does it take to get a tutor?
It can take two months to match you with a tutor.
We are continuously training new volunteers to help
tutor. There are group classes you can attend while you
wait for a tutor.
What happens once I’m matched?
Once
you are matched, you and your tutor will meet once a
week for two hours in a public place, such as a library,
church or here at ReadWest.
How do I sign up?
Stop by our
office Monday – Thursday between the hours of 9am – 3 pm
to register. We will fill out the forms for you. There
will be a brief oral English evaluation for students
needing English or a brief, no pressure at all reading
and spelling evaluation for students needing reading
help. These are necessary for your tutor to know where
to start helping you. If at any time you feel
uncomfortable, just say so and we will stop the
evaluation.
ReadWest has trained, caring
volunteers to help you improve your reading or speaking
abilities.
