The Englewood Public Library welcomes all adults from Englewood and Englewood Cliffs who need help with Basic Literacy (reading and writing) or with English as a Second Language. We offer all classes free of charge.
 

Who are we?

We are a fully accredited affiliate of ProLiteracy America/Worldwide. Originally, we focused solely on the community’s need for literacy instruction. More recently, we extended our services to include English language instruction for the foreign-born.

What do we offer?

We offer one-on-one tutoring as well as small group instruction in reading, writing, and English as a Second Language. We offer classes in citizenship and GED preparation. In addition, we train new tutors with three free workshops per year.

Who are the tutors?

Our tutors, who volunteer their time and efforts to help those who ask for help with reading and language literacy, come from various towns in New Jersey and from all walks of life.

How does the tutoring session work?

Tutors meet with students in the library once a week, at mutually convenient times. The average tutoring session lasts from one to two hours.

What about teaching materials?

The Literacy Collection, part of the library’s card catalogue, contains numerous student texts and workbooks as well as teacher manuals. The Collection includes reference materials, audio and video tapes.
