The tutors of onslow literacy council inc. 

Picture
Our tutors come from all backgrounds: the OLC family includes former teachers, doctors, immigrants, military members, Service Learning students from Coastal Carolina Community College, and a host of other people with varied occupations and life experiences. Despite having different histories and education levels, our tutors all have one thing in common: they love Onslow Literacy and are passionate about helping our students and community members find joy in literacy and education.

Nivedita (Mini) Mittal 
With her many talents and passion for literacy, Mini adds so much to Onslow Literacy Council Inc. She believes education is a very powerful tool that can change lives and that literacy in particular is the only way towards a more peaceful and better world. She works especially hard with our ESL students, bringing joy, imagination, and life skills into each lesson. When she isn't busy working with her students, Mini enjoys observing natural beauty around her and displaying that in her lovely and talented paintings. She also teaches healing yoga classes every week and practices mindful, positive thinking and living. ​

Curtis Hildt 
Curtis is definitely a powerhouse in our organization! As a retired Master Gunnery Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, Curtis brings great structure to the political side of our Council, and he currently heads our Governance Committee. After his service in the military, he went on to obtain his Master's Degree as a Reading Education Specialist K-12. While working towards his degree, Curtis volunteered as a tutor at Coastal Carolina Community College from 1991-1995; once his degree was completed, he went on to become an instructor there in reading, English, social studies, and other GED subjects from 1995-2015. Now retired, Curtis enjoys tutoring, boating, fishing, and camping. He has also volunteered with the Boy Scouts for thirty years, enjoys working with Holbranch United Methodist Church, and also volunteers with Onslow County Fire Commission.

   Linda Watts
​
     Not all may have known her by name, but Linda Watts was a tutor, a friend, and a loving caring person.  She was a presence in Onslow Literacy Council from our early days.  Her contributions helped make OLC the more viable productive organization we are today.
     Linda was a member of the first tutor class sponsored by our council.  Linda could always be counted on to respond with enthusiasm when extra volunteer work, time or energy was needed.  She was often one of the ladies seen preparing and setting out food at OLC events.
      As is the case with most of that early group of tutors, through their dedication and enthusiastic participation in tutoring and fund raising, OLC is stronger and has led to the larger corps of tutors we enjoy and count on today.

 Anne Treffeisen Lyon was one of our very committed Volunteers. She had been with us almost since the beginning. Anne was ready to fill in wherever needed. She was needed the most for her beautiful handwriting! She lost her long fight with cancer in 2017. We miss her kind heart and her beautiful smile every day!
