Greetings fantastic tutors and amazing learners!
For those of you who are new to Project Literacy, this is the Project Literacy monthly newsletter. In this edition I have lots of helpful information ranging from Census information to emergency preparedness to new reading resources.
We just wrapped up the August Online Tutor Training Sessions and we now have 13 more online tutors for a total of 19 online tutors! We have over 10 learners on the waitlist who have not been paired with a tutor. This has been a slow process because we had no system in place to fingerprint/Live Scan our online tutors, but now the process is streamlined so tutors can get fingerprinting done at UPS and we will be getting those results in a timely manner. If you are a learner on the waitlist, you will be matched with a tutor very soon!
The Project Literacy Facebook group is now up and running! All tutors and all learners are welcome to join. On the Project Literacy Facebook group you can connect with other tutors and learners, share resources, and get updates on Project Literacy.
And we've renewed our News For You online subscription!!! More about this in the newsletter below.
As always, you can email or call me (510-577-3944) if you need any tutoring support.
Hope you all are staying healthy!
