The need for volunteer English language tutors is greater than ever before.

To help meet the need, Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley will host a free tutor training workshop from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, March 11-20, at the St. Charles Public Library, 1 S. Sixth Ave.

Each trained volunteer will be matched with one adult learner. Volunteer tutors and their adult learners meet for one hour each week at a time and public location that is convenient, such as public libraries.

Volunteers do not need to know a second language or have teaching experience to be successful. The workshop provides material and instruction so anyone can help.

To register for the workshop, visit www.lvfv.org or call/text (630) 584-4428.

Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley, first started in 1986, provides free, one-to-one literacy tutoring to adults in St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Elburn, Campton Hills, La Fox, Lily Lake, Wasco and Wayne.

For questions, contact (630) 584-2811 or info@lvfv.org.
