What are the expectations for students?

Time
Your tutor is a volunteer and has agreed to meet with you for 1½ hours per week to help you learn English. If you are not able to attend a scheduled meeting, you must call your tutor and reschedule. We hope you will meet with your tutor once a week for one year.

Homework
You will learn more if you do homework that is assigned to you, and if you practice English between lessons.

Plan
You can help yourself by telling your tutor what you want to learn. Your tutor will plan lessons after asking you what your interests are and what you hope to achieve.

Ask Questions
If you don’t understand something, ask your tutor to explain it again. Don’t be embarrassed or afraid – English is not an easy language to learn!

Keep in Touch
If you need to discontinue lessons, notify your tutor and the office as soon as possible.

Costs
There is a suggested donation of $10, but all instructional services are provided free of charge to you.
