Our club's tutors volunteer to facilitate hourly, 1 on 1 sessions. Tutoring is conducted in the clubroom or online for 1 to 3 hours per week. Quickly, a strong friendly rapport and feeling of satisfaction is built between both tutors and learners. Tutors encourage a warm, friendly atmosphere to assist our senior members learn at their own pace. Our tutors are rewarded by the independent appreciation and gratitude so strongly expressed by their learners. A valuable life experience.
