Tutoring starts in mid-February and continues during term time. Volunteers usually tutor one specific morning a week, 9.30 to 11am but we can arrange back-up tutors if volunteers need to be away on any given day.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:6.0pt;line-height:150%'><b>O</b>ver the last ten years, YESS volunteers using MULTILit have achieved wonderful results in boosting students’ literacy skills, enhancing their confidence, class participation and success at many Far South Coast schools.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:7.2pt;mso-para-margin-top:.6gd;line-height:150%'>If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information, please call Frances Perkins on 0423780498, or email her <span class=MsoHyperlink><a href="mailto:potts_perkins@bigpond.com">potts_perkins@bigpond.com</a></span> . <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-top:7.2pt;mso-para-margin-top:.6gd;text-align:center;line-height:150%'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Frances Perkins <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>0423780498<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
