National City Public Library’s Literacy Services program provides free one-to-one and small group tutoring for adults whose reading or writing skills are below a ninth grade level. To qualify, an adult needs to speak and understand English at a conversational level. Both tutors and learners are required to make a six-month commitment to meet 2 hours per week. Tutoring is at the National City Public Library. For more information, please visit the Literacy Services office at the library or call (619) 470-5860.
