Hello!

Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts-Boston trains volunteers to provide free, individualized, and confidential tutoring to adults in the areas of literacy (basic reading skills) and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages).

LVM tutors are collaborative and encouraging volunteers who create an affirming and engaging learning experience. We ask trained volunteers to tutor for 2 hours each week for a minimum of 9 months. Our student-tutor pairs meet in person or remotely, based on their preferences, though we do ask that volunteers reside in Massachusetts. To find the affiliate in Massachusetts closest to you, see this page: http://www.lvm.org/contact.html.

We have two upcoming training courses in January for the Boston affiliate. To learn more, sign up here to join an upcoming information session: https://forms.gle/TzQ1TJXTDFERDxAEA

You may also text, email, or call us for more general information about our program, to register for a session, or to arrange a different time to meet via Zoom. See contact information below.

We look forward to talking to you!
