All LVGW Tutoring Services are Confidential and Free
Anyone who qualifies and needs help may receive free tutoring from a trained volunteer, depending on tutor availability. To be eligible for participation in LVGW literacy programs, student candidates must:
1. Be at least 16 years of age and not attending high school.
2. Be able to contact the LVGW staff directly (or with the assistance of a translator) to schedule appointments and to communicate their reasons for enrollment.
3. Take an assessment test and score within the literacy levels for the services that LVGW provides.
4. Agree to meet at an approved tutoring site in a public location and arrange for their own transportation.
5. Show appropriate behavior while working with the tutor.
Sometimes a person may need more help than we can give and we will refer that person to another program if possible.
