LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Library’s Adult Literacy Program has scheduled a new virtual literacy tutor training for February.

The training consists of two two-hour sessions on Wednesday, Feb. 2, and Wednesday, Feb. 9.

The training will take place on Zoom from 10 a.m. to noon for both sessions.

They will be hosted by the new Adult Literacy Program Coordinator Georgina Marie Guardado, also Lake County’s poet laureate from 2020 to 2024, and facilitated by Lake County Literacy Coalition Board Member and Literacy Tutor Pam Klier.

Participants will learn useful techniques for teaching adults to read. No experience is needed and ongoing support and workshops are provided for tutors.

Upon completion of the training, tutors will be matched with adult learners in a variety of settings around the county.

Those who would like to help adults improve their literacy skills are encouraged to attend. The training is free to attend with a suggested donation of $25 requested to cover materials.

Becoming a tutor can help someone to a better future. In addition to teaching literacy, the program offers services for GED and High School Equivalency test preparation, digital literacy, citizenship application assistance, written driving tests, and more.
