New Tutor Training
All JCL volunteers complete 2.5 hours of training focused on Read Aloud and One-on-One tutoring
techniques. This training has been developed to meet and exceed district and state standards. No previous tutoring
experience is necessary! In addition to attending the training session, we ask that you provide a photo identification, two
references and a negative TB test. In San Francisco and in one school district on the Peninsula, Live Scan fingerprints are required.
JCL tutors volunteer at schools, after-school programs and evening programs throughout San Francisco, the
East Bay and the Peninsula. Potential tutors choose a site and schedule based on what is most convenient for them.
We typically hold new tutor training sessions at the start of the school year (mainly
September–October), and after winter break (mainly January–February).
Workshops
In addition to our initial tutor training, JCL provides workshops year-round to build our tutors' skills. These
workshops cover topics including working with kindergarteners, meeting the needs of English learners, and how
to handle behavioral challenges. These workshops are free of charge and are led by highly skilled Bay Area
educators.
Annual Half-day Conferences
Each year JCL organizes half-day conferences for tutors and the general public covering subjects related to literacy tutoring. The workshops presented at the conferences permit tutors to strengthen their skills. They also provide an opportunity for tutors share their experiences and learn from one another.
