Our WestTO tutor training takes a critical, learner-centred approach to adult literacy and community learning.
The focus of the training is to:
Introduce you to the world of adult community literacy and what learner-centred approach is
Provide framework and tools for building non judgement, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed Tutor- Learner partnerships
Build your skills in self-awareness, empathy, active listening and sensitivity to inequality as well as power & privilege outside and inside Tutor- Learner partnerships
Give you practical, hands on skills on how to be an effective tutor to adult literacy learners facing socio-political barriers
