Things you will need on hand before you begin:

  • Just a notebook to jot down ideas!

  • But in Module 1-4, there will be more materials needed, listed in this area below the video.

In this video, you will:

  • Understand the local literacy crisis and why 1 in 5 adults struggle to read above a third-grade level due to systemic gaps in education.

  • Discover who our adult learners are, from young adults breaking into the workforce to parents over 40 finally making time for their own education.

  • Learn our top-down teaching philosophy, focusing on empathy, active listening, and targeted gap-filling rather than traditional children's workbooks.

  • Get an overview of the 4-module tutor training course, covering adult learning principles, instructional methods, lesson planning, and your first learner meeting.

  • Complete a guided reflection exercise on your own recent learning experiences to build empathy for adult learners.
