Tutoring

Help a child or an adult improve their reading by becoming a tutor!

Become a tutor and volunteer 30 minutes a week or more with a child in K-6th grade at a local elementary school.
We provide a tutoring orientation, background checks, and placement.
Tutors are also taught the "Winners Walk Tall"
character-building lessons to incorporate into the tutoring sessions.

Work one-on-one with an adult student who is currently reading at or below 4th grade level.
Tutoring sessions can be held at our facility (preferred) or at a local library. For your reference, we are located just west of downtown in Queensgate at 1200 Gest Street, 45203.
Adults are screened before the first session to determine their approximate reading level.
We will provide tools, worksheets, and books to support your student's individual needs and reading level.
If you are interested in becoming an adult tutor, please contact Shymain@queencitybookbank.org for more information.

If you are interested in tutoring children, you MUST attend one tutoring orientation session (approximately 2 hours) prior to volunteering.
Tutoring orientation focuses on the five components of reading instruction and provides a manual and support materials.
Background checks are required and you will need to fill out the paperwork at your session. Make sure you have your state ID/Driver's License and know your SSN.
Our formal tutoring training sessions are complete for this school year and will resume in the fall. For those interested in tutoring school-aged children at this time, please visit the Cincinnati Public Schools website: https://www.cps-k12.org/our-community/volunteer-opportunities. If you have additional questions please contact our Director of External Relations, Annie Schneider, at Annie@queencitybookbank.org or 513-621-7323.

*Orientation not required if you will only be tutoring adults.
**Background checks are still required for both tutoring programs.
