Upcoming Workshops

We offer continued training and professional development opportunities for our volunteer tutors long after completing the initial training. If there is a particular topic you'd like to see us offer a workshop on, please email Steven.

Workshops are on Zoom or in person; please see the description for specifics. Workshops are designed for current LVCA tutors.

September Workshop: Gauging Student Progress with Steven

When: Tuesday, September 15
Time: 3:00 - 4:00 pm
Where: Zoom (this presentation will be recorded)
Presenter: Steven Reid, Program Manager

Description: How do you know if your student is making progress—especially when growth doesn’t always show up on a test or in how quickly you move through a textbook? In this workshop, we’ll explore practical ways to recognize and document the small (and big!) signs that your student’s English skills are growing. We’ll look at how to identify progress in real-world skills, help students recognize their own accomplishments, and use what you observe to decide what to work on next.

You’ll leave with simple strategies you can incorporate into your regular one-to-one lessons without adding a lot of extra testing or paperwork.

Can’t attend live? The workshop will be recorded and available afterward for tutors who would like to watch it at another time.

A note for volunteers from other organizations/agencies:
Thank you for your interest. We know many organizations are struggling, so we have no set fee for participation. Instead, we invite you to donate whatever amount seems appropriate for you. We have invested staff time and resources in creating and conducting these training sessions, so whatever you can contribute will help cover our costs.
