LVM Literacy Unlimited

Program Overview

LVM Literacy Unlimited is the free adult tutoring program at Framingham Public Library (MA). We coordinate
volunteers who provide one-to-one tutoring in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Basic
Literacy (BL) and offer conversation classes and workshops.

Literacy Unlimited was established in 1986 and is an affiliate of Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts (LVM). Our program trains volunteer tutors to help students with English as a second language, basic literacy, citizenship and GED preparation. The tutoring we offer is confidential, individualized, student-centered, and free of charge. Adult learners and tutors, who usually work one-on-one, are carefully matched and supported to insure the best opportunity for the student to reach his/her individual goals.

Because of the high demand for one-to-one tutors, we also offer conversation classes in three levels for students not yet in a tutoring match. We are supported with a combination of public and private funding.
