Qualities of an Effective Tutor

(2:09)

What is most important about tutoring is that you enjoy working with people, you’re eager to learn, and you’re willing to share your time. A sense of humour may also come in handy!

One doesn't need a teaching background to tutor in this program; one simply needs to be willing to give a couple of hours a week to speak with a newcomer. I would recommend tutoring for anyone looking for a fulfilling, informal volunteer experience with another adult in your community.
