ESL tutor training is available for volunteers

The San Diego County Library and Laubach Literacy Council of San Diego County have teamed up to offer training classes for potential English as a Second Language tutors in North County.

The training sessions take place Saturdays, July 14 and 21, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 119 Fourth Avenue in Escondido. To become a tutor with the program, one is required to attend both classes.

Volunteer tutors will then work with small groups of English learners at San Diego County Library branches and other North County centers.

Those interested should register by calling Dr. Charles Ross, a Laubach director, at (619) 442-1481 or e-mail: [email protected].
