FAQs About Tutoring
1. How will I receive a student? Your student has called us for help. Chris Earnhart has met with them and asked them to fill out information about themselves and what their goals are. We currently have a waiting list of students who would like to work with a tutor.
2. How will I know what level my student is? The student has been assessed and you will receive information about the type of difficulties the student is having and what type of help they need. You will be told what level the student should start in.
3. Where do we meet? Student and tutor pairs meet in the public libraries in Warren County, in our office, or in churches and other public places. Do not meet at your student's home or have the student come to your home.
4. How do I get the books? Check with your local library. If they don't have what you need, call our office at 932-2323. The books will be delivered to the local library or you can pick them up in our office. Each level has a teacher's manual and a student's workbook.
5. Is there a charge for tutor training or for the books? No.
6. How often are we expected to meet? At least once a week, 1 to 1.5 hours minimum. Twice a week is even better, if possible.
7. If I have a student from another country, do I need to speak his language? No. He wants to learn English. Speaking his language is not necessary. You will be given an idea of how much English he speaks or understands. Most of our students can read some English.
