Berkeley Reads is the adult literacy program of the Berkeley Public Library. Trained volunteers are available as tutors for English-speaking adults age 16 and older who have difficulty reading and writing.
Services are always FREE and confidential.
Tutoring pairs meet twice a week for one to two hours each session. Together, tutors and students arrange a convenient meeting place and time. We ask both tutors and learners for a six-month commitment to the program. We Make a Difference Adult learners in Berkeley Reads improve their literacy skills so they can function more powerfully and effectively at home, at work and in the community. Students make progress at their own pace and work toward their personal learning goals.
