Gateway to hold two tutor training sessions

 Gateway Community Action Partnership’s Literacy Volunteers program will conduct two tutor training sessions beginning in September. Trained tutors will work one-on-one with adult learners.

   The Salem County course will begin on Tuesday, September 10, 2013 and run for five consecutive Tuesday mornings from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 37 East Grant Street, Woodstown.

   The Cumberland County course will begin on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 and run for five consecutive Wednesday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. in Gateway’s administrative offices, 110 Cohansey St., Bridgeton.  

    Residents of Cumberland and Salem counties can register for either location.

   The training is free and open to the public, but tutor trainees must attend at least four of the five sessions to graduate and become certified to tutor. Tutors will be trained in ESL and basic literacy. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.

  Gateway has provided literacy services in Cumberland and Salem counties for the past 15 years and is accredited by Literacy Volunteers of New Jersey and ProLiteracy. Trained tutors generally meet one to two hours per week with learners.
