Literacy NRV Classroom Assistants
Becoming a Classroom Assistant
Are you interested in working directly with adults to improve their skills but can't commit to a full year of tutoring?
​
Literacy NRV classroom assistants provide tutoring support during our 7-10 week long classes. Our lead instructor will manage lesson planning and classroom organization; classroom assistants help with tracking attendance, greeting students, distributing resources, and tutoring students in breakout groups or individually during class.
​
Classes include English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), family literacy, digital literacy, financial literacy, health literacy, and U.S. citizenship and GED preparation.
