The Whatcom Literacy Council trains volunteer tutors. The tutors are people who want to share their skills. We train them to teach adults. Tutors can work with you in your community, at a public meeting place at times that fit your schedule.

Tutoring is free, confidential and one-to-one. Tutoring is NOT like school. We work on your goals – for a job, a class or for daily life.

Learning will start by going over what you know. Then we can fill in the gaps. Learning always has ups, downs and “flat spots”. Working with your tutor, you can reach your goals. Learning more can change your life. It will change it for the better. You and your tutor will build on what you know.

You’ve already learned to live. Now improve your reading and writing to live better.
