Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley is seeking volunteers to help adults learn English.

A tutor training workshop will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Aug. 11, 13, 18, and 20 at the St. Charles Public Library. The workshop will cover the techniques used to teach adults English while discussing the problems they face when they are unfamiliar with the American culture. Volunteers will explore cultural awareness, basic English language needs, conversation techniques, practice drills, and more.

Each workshop graduate will be matched with one adult student. Volunteer tutors meet with their students for one hour each week at a time and public location that is convenient such as the St. Charles, Batavia, Geneva, or Town & Country Public Libraries. Other meeting locations are also available.

Volunteer tutors do not need to know a second language or have a background in education to help. Adult students say that the best tutors are patient, are good listeners, and give practical information.
