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.

NOTE
NOTE
In 2019, we tutored over 220 learners. Our learners have achieved many of their goals with the help of our program. During the pandemic, with the help of our program, some of our learners were able to gain new employment, improve their math and digital literacy skills while working remotely. We are happy to work with adult learners one-on-one to help them achieve their basic literacy learning goals.
