I would love to have more information on this and to sign up for an orientation. Do these tutoring sessions occur in someone’s home or is there a classroom? The only hesitation I would have would be going into a strange home. If you would please respond to that particular question, I will then sign up for the orientation.
Thank you.
Patty
Patty- I have passed your contact info onto our Literacy coordinator. She will follow up to answer any additional questions but in short answer to your original question. Tutoring typically is arranged in public spaces. It can happen at our offices, at the library or a local coffee shop depending on your choosing.
I’m interested in signing up for this program. If you could send me some more information I would love to attend one of the orientation sessions.
