Free One-on-One Tutoring for Adults From the Literacy Council of Reading-Berks
The Literacy Council of Reading-Berks matches adults with a trained volunteer tutor for free one-on-one help with reading, High School Equivalency (GED) test preparation, English as a Second Language, and more.
This tutoring is meant for students who have barriers that keep them from taking part in a classroom. To take part, you must be 16 years of age or older, a resident of Pennsylvania, and not currently enrolled in a public or private secondary or postsecondary school.
You get a trained volunteer tutor who works with you one-on-one. Lessons can focus on Adult Basic Education (ABE), High School Equivalency (GED) test preparation, English as a Second Language (ESL), and other literacy topics. The tutoring is free. The page does not say how often you meet, how long the tutoring lasts, or where you meet your tutor.
To start, register for a tutor through lcrb.org. For questions about private tutoring, ask for the Volunteer Coordinator, Taylor Mahoney. The main phone number is 610.670.9960 and the email address is info@lcrb.org.
The Literacy Council of Reading-Berks is at 450 South 6th Street, Reading, PA 19602. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm and closed Saturday and Sunday.
One thing to know before you register: the page mentions that many people are on the Literacy Council's waiting list, so you may not be matched with a tutor right away. The page does not say how long the wait is.
