Our volunteer tutors complete a twelve-hour training approved by ProLiteracy. All instruction is free. Tutoring sessions are held at the public places, times, and days that are convenient to both tutors and students. Tutoring materials are located at the Rapid City Public Library.
Tutors and students are encouraged to meet a minimum of once a week and to work as partners in setting goals.
