We provide FREE one-on-one tutoring in basic reading, writing and math, in a safe and welcoming environment at 10 locations across the city. Learners are our primary focus. In our program, we help learners improve their life skills by assisting them with their personal literacy goals. Working at their own pace, the learning provided is based on each individual’s needs. In return, they must commit to a weekly two-hour session for a minimum of six months.
