Serve and Learn - English Tutoring Program

"It's such a unique opportunity...It's rare to find people who give their time so easily to others."

"I'm so happy to continue.  This program helps people."

The tutoring program is an opportunity for local residents to make a new friend, gain new skills and learn about another culture! No special skills or experience is required beyond the desire to be more involved in your community. Anyone can be a tutor!

After a training and orientation, volunteer tutors are paired with an adult learner in Waltham seeking to improve his or her English speaking and/or writing. Each pair has the opportunity to learn about another culture and to work on specific objectives during the ten-week program.

During the course of the program, Tutors and the adult learners are provided with support and curriculum materials from WATCH staff. At the end of each 10-week session, we throw a party and celebrate our accomplishments to date. Most of our tutors and tutees continue after their first 10 weeks together.
