     Scheduling is flexible - meet any time or day that the library is open.
 

"I've been tutoring at the Corona Public Library for fifteen years and teaching a phonics class for about eleven of those years. 

Tutoring is one of the highlights of my entire life, but also the most fulfilling thing I've ever done, outside of having my family!  

I am not a certified teacher and never went to school to learn to be a teacher, but I received excellent training from the library literacy staff.  They gave me the boost I needed when I was unsure of what I was doing."  - Alice W.

"I get a great deal of satisfaction from tutoring. It is very rewarding to help someone discover the joy of reading and to support their efforts towards self improvement. I feel like I am making a difference and I share a sense of accomplishment when a student is able to meet their goals.  

 

I thoroughly enjoy working with my student and we make a great team because we have shared trust, commitment, and responsibility.   We also have fun! 
 

I feel appreciated and I feel like I am making a difference. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and I feel good about “giving back” to the community. It’s challenging, broadening, and fun."  
          -  Joyce B.
