CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- Volunteers are needed to help adult learners.

Literacy Volunteers of Charlottesville/Albemarle is actively seeking new volunteers to become tutors for people in Central Virginia.

According to a release, volunteers will be training online to tutor people using online video programs.

This training is offered monthly, and the next opportunity will begin on March 13 at 10 a.m.

Thanks to technology and virtual instruction, LVCA has been able to continue offering assistance to people while its physical offices have been closed.

“Switching to online meetings have allowed my student and me to have a more productive tutoring experience overall,” said Charlie, a volunteer who made the transition to virtual tutoring. “Our ability to work through written materials together has not been hindered, and meeting via Zoom has provided a great opportunity to practice speaking and listening in the type of online environment that she has to navigate daily at work.”

Prospective volunteers need to be at least 18 years old and be willing to make a one-year commitment to the education of their students.

LVCA says tutors are expected to provide eight hours of instruction each month.
