Student Information

Literacy Council of Washington County, MD

Our students are referred to us by family, friends, the library, HCC and other agencies that are working with them. They range from 18 to 80 and are all nationalities.

In our Basic Literacy program, they receive help with reading, writing, spelling, vocabulary, pronunciation and math. We tutor students who are reading on a first grade level to those who want a GED.

Students in our ESL (English as Second Language) program are learning conversational English or preparing for the citizenship test. We have Rosetta Stone that students are welcome to use anytime.

We also work with Hagerstown Community College by providing tutors to its  Adult Basic Education (ABE) students who want one-on-one help. For more info on ABE, click here.

Tutoring sessions are usually one to two hours each week and are usually one-on-one. Students will meet their tutors at a safe, quiet, mutually-convenient location such as our office or the library.  However, during COVID, we do not believe it is safe to meet in person and encourage all of our tutors and students to meet online using a convenient platform such as Zoom, Google Meet, Google Duo, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger Video, etc.
