Trainers

Trainer Hub

The L2L Program provides students with training to help them develop the skills they need to effectively support, and tutor their peers. One of the fundamental components of the program is the L2L Trainers.

The L2L Team includes over 30 Trainers, each with over 25 years of experience as teachers, and administrators in the Canadian public education system.

What do L2L Trainers do?

As the faces of the L2L Program in the schools, L2L Trainers are key members of the L2L Team. They deliver L2L Tutor Training, oversee the implementation of tutoring sessions, lead review sessions, and collaborate with the School Coordinators to ensure the success of the program. L2L Trainers are volunteers who receive an honorarium for their work.

Profile of L2L Trainer

All Trainers must have an Ontario College of Teachers Certificate, or its equivalent.

Trainers have a passion for learning and for helping others, are creative problem solvers, and believe that all students can succeed under the right conditions.

Relevant experience includes classroom teaching, positions in school leadership, leadership development training, knowledge of Multiple Intelligences, Learning Styles and Mindsets.

The workload of an L2L Trainer depends on the amount of school projects taken. You can expect to be able to schedule school visits with some flexibility to accommodate travel and other social commitments. However, it is not possible to hold a full-time position with another organization and be a Trainer with L2L. We will therefore not consider someone who plans to take on a long-term occasional role in a school, for example.
