The primary purpose of this course is to provide participants with the tutoring skills and knowledge needed to help others reach a secondary school level of literacy. Those being tutored may include school students, migrants and others, including those serving prison sentences or on parol.

In this course you will develop an increased awareness and understanding of the role of literacy and the complexities of English. You will also acquire skills in evidence-based reading approaches and in composing texts. This course provides a pathway to employment and has particular relevance for volunteers.
