We work with adults who are struggling with reading, writing and communicating in English. Our tutors work one-on-one with these adults to improve their skills. The tutor works closely with the learner for approximately 1.5 hours per week. Literacy Services offers small group classes, additional materials and software to help the tutor/learner pair meet their personal goals. Tutors need not have previous teaching experience and will be trained in tutoring.
