Volunteer Tutors Needed
Unlock someone’s world through reading!
Many children with dyslexia and adults in our community have trouble reading.
Whether it’s a phone bill, a bus map, a book filled with adventure, or their child’s homework…
YOU are the key to unlocking their world.
We are always in need of compassionate tutors for the students waiting to be matched with a tutor.
LearningQuest's Adult Literacy and KidsQuest Office is located inside the Stanislaus County Library

Tutors say...
“I’ve always like the Library and I absolutely love to read. When I first heard about this program, I thought I’d like to try tutoring. I’ve never been a teacher, so I felt a bit unsure, but since becoming part of the program, I’ve found that I absolutely love it.” - Carla
“I enjoy teaching, I’ve learned to work with the student at their pace, make the material your own and listen to their needs and goals – and most of all enjoy and have fun” - Mike
Why Tutor?
It is really about wanting to share your love of reading with someone ready to learn. You will directly impact a student's life and their ability to reach their literacy goals.
Tutors are in demand by with adults and dyslexic children hoping to finally break through their literacy barriers.
You can help them do that.
Tutoring Sessions
Students and tutors meet consistently twice a week for 90-minute sessions for at least 6 months. Tutoring sessions can be held online or in-person based on the agreement between student and tutor.
Students and tutors are matched based on preferences such as schedule and reading level.
In partnership with the Library
In-person tutoring sessions and student and volunteer services are centrally located at the LearningQuest wing of the Stanislaus County Library at 1500 I St., Modesto, CA 95354.
LearningQuest staff is on hand at all times to support you.
LearningQuest has partnered with the Stanislaus County Library to provide a spacious cubicle area for individualized learning. Funding from California Library Literacy Services provides all needed student and volunteer materials and support services.
Experience welcome, but not necessary
Whether you have a Ph.D. or a passion for reading comics, all are welcome.
Tutors share their passion for reading and learning with their students. All tutors will go through curriculum training and planning that best fits the goals and speed of progress for each of their students. You will help students reach milestone goals while they learn at their own pace.
We are always in need of caring tutors to generously share their time with adults waiting for tutoring services.
