One-to-One Tutoring

What: You choose what you want to learn. These are your goals. Your tutor will create lessons just for you. For example, you can learn how to:
- Apply for a job,
- Read a book to your children,
- Make a doctor's appointment,
- Get a driver's license, and so much more!
When: You choose when you want to schedule your lessons. You decide with your tutor on a day and time for lessons.
Where: You and your tutor decide where you will meet. You can meet online using video chat like Zoom or WhatsApp. You can also meet face-to-face in a public place like the library.
How Long: You will meet with your tutor every week for one hour, for one year. The time you spend with LVSC will depend on you. Every student is different.
