If you want to help an adult communicate in English and adapt to life in our community, you will want to attend Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley’s free tutor training workshop. It will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays April 9, 11, 16, and 18 at the St. Charles Public Library.

The number of adults who are seeking English language instruction has exploded. More than 50 adults are waiting to learn.

You do not need to know a second language or have teaching experience to be effective. The workshop provides material and instruction so anyone can help.
