Review for Literacy Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
I volunteer with GPLC 3 times a week to tutor a an adult student in basic reading, writing and phonics, and also served in the past as a Literacy*AmeriCorps tutor, teaching ESL/ABE/GED. I'm able to plan my own curriculum and connect with my student on a personal level. Also, GPLC staff are really supportive-- so if you're new to adult education, they'll guide you through the process. There are lots of different volunteering options, depending on your interests. Overall, highly recommended!
