Join

Joining the Circle of FRIENDS isn’t difficult. All you need is a desire to help children (or adults) and the willingness to tutor one hour per week for a semester. Below are the four easy steps to getting started:

       Click-Pick-Complete-Shout:

Click on “What’s New” on this website to learn about the many requests teachers have for tutors in the classroom. Think about what type of setting you are interested in.

 

Some considerations:

 

*Would you like to work with young children, teens, or adults?

*Would you like to tutor reading, or would you prefer to tutor in another subject in

  which you have expertise?

*Do you need to work close to home or campus?

*When during the day and week are you available?

 

 Pick two or three schools on the “What’s New” page that are a good match for your interests and schedule. (Please do not contact any of them at this point.)

 

Complete the Tutor Application on this website and submit it electronically, or print a copy and bring it to the Circle of FRIENDS office at the Library, 458H.

 

Shout  “Hey!” to me at circleoffriends@fgcu.edu after you’ve submitted the application. Please include the following:

1.      The two or three schools that are of interest to you and

2.      A photograph of yourself

 

Now it’s my turn:  After I receive your email and application, I’ll get back to you with information about the three hours of training that you must complete prior to becoming a Circle of FRIENDS tutor.

Please don't worry about training! It's not complicated or difficult, plus you'll receive 3 service learning hours after you've completed an equal number of hours tutoring.

Within a week after we meet and complete paperwork, I'll email your placement.

Still have questions about joining? Feel free to contact me at any time.

     Thank you for your interest in becoming a Circle of FRIENDS tutor.
