Project Literacy Kelowna

We match learners with trained volunteer tutors in order to provide free one-on-one English and Math literacy tutoring Our community of tutors is comprised of university students, teachers, professionals, trades people, and retired persons. Many have English as a Second Language training and experience. During recent years, we have found that the caliber of our English tutors and Math tutors continues to improve steadily – matching increasingly complex learner needs. All our tutors receive training and on-going support to ensure they have the necessary tools to help learners achieve their personal, academic or vocational goals. At any one time we have more than 100 active tutor/learner matches. The ability to communicate with fellow citizens, keep a job or secure a new one, enroll in higher education or overcome a dependency on social assistance, have been important milestones achieved by many of our learners. Project Literacy learners receive assistance with: • Basic reading, writing and math skills; • English as an Additional Language; • Language Proficiency Index (LPI) testing; • GED and specific grade preparation; • Employment specific terminology; • Trades math entrance exams; • Apprenticeship training materials; • Preparation for post-secondary courses; • Skills upgrading for employment enhancement; • Job application forms, citizenship preparation, and much more!
