Volunteering

Tutors and administrative staff are all volunteers. Training and support are provided to ensure the various individuals have all the necessary tools to fulfill their role within the Centre.

Volunteer Tutoring

The Learning Centre is accepting applications for tutors who wish to volunteer a few hours each week. We provide in house training of the Orton-Gillingham Approach. Our in-house certified tutor trainers provide continual support and mentorship. There is also the opportunity to obtain Certification as an Orton-Gillingham tutor.

Tutors will apply the Orton-Gillingham Approach in their lessons with the children. The Learning Centre uses one-to-one tutoring with trained and certified tutors. Each tutoring session is one-hour in length, twice per week. Our Centre follows the school calendar. Children will generally require a period of three years to complete the entire program. A Graduation Ceremony for the children is held in October.

This is an ideal opportunity for men and women who have previous experience in working with children or in social services.

All training and other professional development opportunities are provided free of charge. We appreciate the time and effort our tutors take to enrich each child’s life.

The Learning Centre has a proven record of success of opening doors of wonder and opportunity for its graduates.
