Tutor Training Series:

This series of 5 e-mails (sent over the course of 17 days from whence you sign up) covers, in broad strokes, the information presented in the AVKO Tutor Training workshop.  Membership is necessary to do the homework and readings of the series.  See also the Tutor Training page, which has the same content of these newsletters, plus some more.
