Who does LVSCT teach?
Anyone 18 years of age or older who is committed to learning the English language.
Who will teach me?
A volunteer tutor will provide you with English instruction – for reading, writing, speaking, and listening comprehension. Your tutor will work privately with you, which we refer to as one-on-one instruction.
When is the tutoring held?
One-on-one (private) instruction is held whenever the student and the tutor are available. This could be in the morning, afternoon, or in the evening. You will tell us when you can meet with a tutor, and we will find a tutor who can meet at the same times. Then you and your tutor will decide on the specific day(s) and time(s) to meet for lessons.
Where is the tutoring done?
Tutoring can be done in-person or online. You will tell us where you can meet with a tutor, and we will find a tutor who can meet at those locations too (or online). Then you and your tutor will decide on the specific place to meet for lessons. For in-person tutoring, we encourage students and tutors to meet at public places such as libraries, community centers, and cafes, or at our office at 16 Dixon Street in Milford.
How much does it cost?
All tutoring is FREE of charge.
How do I become a student?
Email director@lvsct.org or call us at 203-878-4800 for an interview, and we will walk you through the process and pair you with a tutor as soon as possible. We are open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Literacy is Living. Literacy is the Freedom to Live.
LITERACY is the state of “being literate.” Literacy is defined by a combination of basic skills (not just one skill) that everyone needs in order to function in society. If you are from another country and want to be comfortable in your new cultural location and want to take advantage of all the opportunities here and make it your home, then you will be required to become “literate.” If you live in this country and feel that you have been deprived educationally, then you too may want to brush up on your literacy skills.
