Tutor students in Bristol, Warren, Barrington and East Providence in reading, writing, and speaking English. After completing 5 training sessions, tutors work with adults in pairs at area libraries on a flexible schedule. It is not necessary to have a teaching background or college degree. We provide the skills necessary to teach and the support to help change a student's life by helping them gain the skills they need.
