LV-DAC works closely with Adult Basic Education. We offer tutoring for adults who have literacy skills at the most basic levels. Our program primarily serves:
Students who speak English but read and write at less than the sixth grade level, and:
ESL students who had less than six grade English language skills. |
| Intake Procedure: |
|
All Students who come to LV-DAC take a pre-test to determine their level. LV-DAC matches eligible students with trained volunteer literacy tutors. A student meets her/his tutor for 2-4 hours a week, and together they work on the educational goals that the student has identified. Our tutoring services are free, and student information is kept confidential.
If you know an adult who needs help learning basic reading, writing, math, or English, please call (575) 527-7544 or stop by the Quintana Learning Center at DACC. |
