Adult Literacy

Literacy is an essential skill in today’s society. The goal of LCA’s Adult Literacy program is to provide help for those learners wishing to become literate in the English language. We even offer a computer literacy class.  We provide a variety of settings to meet this goal including small classes, one to one tutoring, and lab times. During any year we work with over 200 adults in the Fairbanks area.  Whether you are part of our program or wish to be, we welcome you to explore the student and tutor pages for more information about us.

Classes

Classes for ESL are scheduled in 8 week blocks.  We have an open entry policyfor these classes, so  learners can start at any time.  Additional classes in citizenship, American culture, and beginning use of computers are also offered.

School Age

LCA's School Age Tutoring Program trains adult volunteer tutors in learning styles and supports them throughout a six week commitment to individual students.  Tutors work with students one-on-one to increase proficiency in areas identified by teachers, as well as to help students increase "school" skills such as staying on task, social skill development, and completion of homework. Based on our community needs, we will also provide short workshops on resume writing and college admissions essay exams. Tutoring is a great way to get some experience, build your resume and positively change the future. We are looking for people who are motivated, who like to work with children. If you are interested in tutoring in the School Age Program call Cherie at 907-456-6212.
