Information for Adult Learners

   
We are located on the Lake Shore Campus of Loyola University Chicago in Dumbach Hall, Rooms 06 and 05.  

The LCLC offers free instruction in basic, intermediate, and advanced reading, writing, literacy, ESL, and GED skills to our adult neighbors in Rogers Park, Edgewater, and Uptown; adults from other parts of Chicago are also welcome. Our goal is to provide individual assistance to all adults, both native–and non-native speakers of English, who wish to improve their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills in English. Now in its twenty-first year, the LCLC serves a highly diverse community of native–born and foreign–born adult learners. We are open four nights each week during the Spring and Fall semesters. There is no charge for tutoring, and there are no entrance requirements, examinations, or other fees.  We do not serve Loyola students who have other resources ( the Writing Center and Tutoring Center )  to assist them.

The LCLC is one of Loyola University's Service Learning projects, sponsored by the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences and also supported by the Paul Glassco Endowment. Most of our tutors are Loyola students, some of whom elect to earn course credit for tutoring at the Center as part of an internship. Some volunteers from the Rogers Park neighborhood also tutor at the Center. All tutors receive an orientation to the LCLC and to the practical business of tutoring adults; tutoring is supervised by on-site managers and experienced assistants. Read more    

Information for Tutors

If you are a Loyola sophomore, junior, or senior interested in tutoring for credit by enrolling in English 393 or Honors 290, please follow the above link to "Tutoring" and then the link to "Course Credit Tutoring"  where you will find a description of the courses, the requirements, and a complete syllabus. The course when taken for 3 credit hours qualifies for the Core Engaged Learning-Service Learning Internship requirement.  Both courses offer the same material with different requirements based on the number of credit hours for which you have registered.  Engl 393 can be taken for 1, 2, or 3 credit hours; Honr 290 can be taken only for 3 credit hours.  Depending on the number of credit hours, students tutor one or two evenings per week and attend five or six classes per semester plus an orientation.
 
If you are interested in volunteering and have never tutored for us before, contact us at literacy@luc.edu or come to one of our orientations listed below.
