Learners
Our Services Include:
- Basic Literacy: Tutors meet with mostly native English speakers in one-on-one matches in helping learners who read at first through fifth-grade reading levels to improve their reading and writing.
- GED: Most of Skyline’s GED learners are also Basic Literacy learners because reading and writing skills are necessary for all portions of the GED test. GED tutoring involves mostly reading and writing instruction, but if you have an specific area of interest, a short-term one-on-one match with a learner may be an option.
- English Language Learning (ELL): Our trained volunteer tutors meet with learners in one-on-one sessions, small-groups (2-5) and large-groups (6+people). Most of these groups are offered at our satellite sites throughout the community.
- Citizenship Preparation: Citizenship classes and individual tutoring are designed to review the civics (U.S. history and government), reading, and writing portions of the naturalization interview. Learners are required to have a “high beginning” level of English to participate in class so some English Language Learning programs and instruction may be required.
- Computer Lab: Learners have the opportunity to use our computers, equipped with the Rosetta Stone English (levels 1-3) program through independent study. Tutors can help the learners with navigating the exercises, pronunciation, and overall progress.
