Learners ~ Potential English Language Learners (ELL) or Adult Basic Education (basic) students ages 16 and up are served by our one-on-one tutoring program. There are three parts to the intake process.

First, ELL learners are evaluated for class or tutor placement by the class coordinator. These oral evaluations take place anytime on:

Mondays 6 - 7 p.m. or Tuesdays 9 - 11 a.m. or 6 - 7 p.m.

Basic learners just call the office and register over the telephone.

Next, all learners take a written test of reading and writing skills. Lastly, all learners are interviewed before being placed on the waiting list for a tutor.

Attendance and results are recorded. Cost: $20 for registration (current students FREE) + the cost of books once you are matched with a tutor. Financial is assistance available.

 

Volunteer Tutors are recruited and trained to tutor adult learners who seek help to improve their basic reading, writing, thinking, and math skills, and/or to learn the English language.

The first step to training is an orientation. Training consists of four three-hour session designed to thoroughly prepare a tutor to work with the student of his or her choice. See the buttons below for upcoming orientation or training dates and times.

Most tutors meet with their students twice a week, and work together for 1 to 1-1/2 hours each time.

Each tutor/learner team decides where and when to meet. The Literacy Green Bay office supplies tutoring materials.
