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 beginning 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 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. 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    

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 Civic Engagement Core 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.
Fall 2012 Orientation sessions

LCLC orientation for NEW TUTORS will be given three times.  Attendance at one evening orientation session is required for all tutors new to the Center.

Returning tutors should call us at 773-508-2330 or email locolice@gmail.com  and let us know what night/s you would like to tutor in Fall 2012.  Our three-hour orientation session for new tutors will be offered three times, from 7 to 9:45 p.m.: Tuesday, September 4th, Wednesday, September 5th, and Thursday, September 6th. The program is the same each evening. The Center opens for tutoring for the Fall semester on Monday, September 10th.
