Learners

The Literacy Council of Jackson County is for anyone 18 years or older who needs help with basic skills.

These adult learners usually need assistance with basic English skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They also want help with math skills, passing the GED, English as a Second Language, getting a job or a promotion, succeeding in college, or applying for citizenship.

Potential adult learners take a placement test to determine their skill level.

Tutors

A tutor will typically spend one or two sessions per week with an adult learner. These sessions usually run 60 to 90 minutes long. A tutor and an adult learner often work together for 6 months to 2 years.

There are no credentials required. Simply attend free training sessions and learn how to be an effective tutor!
