About

Thank you so much for your interest in tutoring with the Latino Student Fund! You have stepped up to support our community in this time of increased need and we thank you for your dedication to the community and our families.

The Fall 2022 Tutoring Orientation will take place on Zoom and is designed to present to prospective tutors the history and mission of LSF, the programs we offer, the guidelines tutors are expected to follow, the structure of our tutoring sessions, and strategies tutors can implement to provide an efficient and fun tutoring session. In addition, we will be answering all your questions regarding the LSF Tutoring Program.

Curriculum

We will provide Khan Academy, ReadWorks,  Native Language Literacy, and Worksheets activities for you to work on with your students. If you work with a student in PreK through 2nd grade, we will provide all the materials to do our Early Literacy Initiative with them (for further explanation on the Early Literacy Initiative program, scroll down to the next paragraph). You can fill an important role in helping them strengthen what they learned last school year and stay on top of new material they’re learning during this challenging time.

Early Literacy Initiative 

The Early Learning Initiative (ELI) is a program where students in PreK through 2nd grade work with their regular tutor on letter-sound recognition, letter formation, word recognition, and reading fluency. Like always, you will be provided with all materials required to tutor in ELI. If you prefer to work with a PreK through 2nd grade student you will be trained in our Early Literacy Initiative, based on the Orton-Gillingham teaching method, and learn teaching skills that can help you improve the literacy of any child.

Tutor Form

All tutors, new and returning, must complete our LSF  Tutor Training Form. The form contains MANDATORY training in Khan Academy, ReadWorks, and our Early Literacy Initiative training for those working with students in PreK through 2nd grade. This Fall, students will have the option to use technology and worksheets. When using technology all student credentials can be accessed through GoSchoolbox. Students and tutors should be using these materials during the tutoring session, so it’s important that you understand how to use all of the programs. You will need to complete the form by answering a questionnaire, watching the training videos, and completing a brief quiz. The form will take you approximately 1.5 hours to complete.
