Volunteer Spotlight: Tom Stayanoff

Tom has been a one-on-one tutor at The Literacy Alliance since mid-2020. He is passionate about our mission and likes to keep his skillset sharp by sharing his knowledge in English, math, and computer skills. His previous experience includes teaching English in China and being a Navy pilot. Tom is retired but continues to be involved in sales and real estate. Tom’s advice to volunteer tutors, “It’s all about effort. Don’t be afraid to meet a few extra times because it will pay off.”
