AN adult education scheme is appealing for volunteers to help tutor students in Teesdale.
The Leap Adult Education Centre, in Barnard Castle, needs more staff to help hundreds of adults, who take basic training courses to improve literacy and numeracy skills.
Volunteers will be required to take a training course, consisting of nine three-and-a-half hour sessions, which will lead to a City and Guilds certificate. The centre will cover travelling expenses.
The Leap also offers career opportunities for tutors wanting to progress to a teaching certificate in adult education, which could lead to paid work in the organisation.
Last year, more than 600 adults in Teesdale benefited from the scheme.
The centre also offers help for dyslexics, and is keen to attract people who would like to specialise in teaching dyslexic adults.
For details about training to be a tutor, ring Jenny Lee, on (01833) 690281 or (01833) 690567.
