Resources for Tutors

There is no question of the need for literacy services in Mercer County, where an estimated 60,000 adults read at fifth grade level or below. The lack of basic skills strongly correlates with a wide range of problems - poverty, crime, loss of productivity in the workplace, and lack of parental involvement in children's education. Research demonstrates that as  literacy levels of parent increase, so does their child's educational success.

LV-MC volunteers provide free, confidential services to adults by way of tutoring sites and community partnerships throughout the County. What makes LV-MC unique is its formal training and support services for tutors, which enable tutors to build effective, long-term teaching relationships with their students.
