Tutors in both the ESOL and the Basic Literacy Programs are required to take training at the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia, located at 2855 Annandale Road in Falls Church.

The training schedule for each program is:
Basic Adult Literacy Tutor Training will be held from 9:30 AM - 2:00 PM.
ESOL Tutor Training will be held from 9:30 AM - 3:00 PM.
LCNV provides one-to-one free tutoring for adults who speak English, but read and write below a fifth grade level. Training occurs on two consecutive Saturdays where prospective tutors learn the basics of reading and writing instruction, and receive materials to work with adult learners. Tutors are usually matched with a student during the training session. If a tutor is not matched with a student, they will be contacted as soon as an appropriate student becomes available. Participants must attend both sessions of the workshop and complete some pre-study materials in order to be considered for tutoring a student.
