Anyone age 16 or older who is not enrolled in a high school elsewhere.

Is there a fee?
No. The program and materials are free.

Can I be tutored in my home?
Tutoring must occur in a public place, usually a library.

Do I have to attend class at a set time?
Tutoring is one-to-one. You and your tutor set a schedule based on your mutual availability.

How much time is required?
We advise a minimum of two 1 1/2 hr. tutoring sessions, preferably spaced one or more days apart. plus at least 3 hours of homework.

Is there a set curriculum?
There is no set curriculum. You and your tutor will discuss your goals and your tutor will plan your lessons and homework based on what you want to accomplish.

Absolutely! Our volunteer tutors are trained to teach learners at all levels -
from non-readers/writers to those whose goal is to pass a high school equivalency test.
