HCC Adult Education Program Seeks Volunteer Tutors
1/11/2010

FREEPORT— The Highland Community College Adult Education Program is seeking volunteers to tutor adults in Stephenson County. Volunteers tutor math, reading, writing or English as a Second Language. All interested individuals are encouraged to attend a tutor informational meeting on Wednesday, February 17, from 6:00-7:00 p.m. OR Friday, February 19 from 11:00 – 12:00 p.m. at the Freeport Public Library in the meeting room on the main floor.

The information meeting will address questions, including:

• What does a volunteer tutor do?
• How much time does it take?
• What experience do I need?

The support and encouragement that tutors provide is a key influence in the lives of students. In fact, the students show a greater amount of achievement when they have one-on-one instruction. Just by volunteering an hour or two a week, tutors are a source of inspiration. The rewards are not only for the students. This program is rewarding for the volunteers as well. For more information about these meetings, please contact Esther Mayer at 815-599-3538 or at esther.mayer@highland.edu
