Make a difference in the life of one person - BE A TUTOR!

Tutors are a valuable resource for the Perry County Literacy Council. We have over 30 trained tutors who are available at different times to work with our students. The tutors participate in a training program here at the Community Education Center. They are matched with a student with similar interests and meet weekly to help the student with their educational goals.

All training, books, resources, and materials are provided free of charge to tutors and students. Below is the tutor job description. Trainings for the tutors are offered twice a year. We’ll be scheduling a new training at the end of March. If interested contact our office for information.
