LVM Literacy Unlimited: Our Program
We are a vibrant, active community of volunteers who work with adult ESOL and Basic Literacy students to improve their English Proficiency, reading and writing skills through one-to-one tutoring and conversation classes.
We provide one-to-one tutoring, as well as English conversation classes, in-person at the library and online using technologies like Zoom, Google Classroom, and WhatsApp.
To learn more, contact us at (508) 532-5574 or fplmail4@minlib.net or visit us in the Framingham Library, Monday - Friday, 9:00AM to 5:00PM.
Support Literacy Unlimited's mission to provide flexible, adaptive one-to-one tutoring for adult ESOL and Basic Literacy students!
Interested in volunteering?
Literacy Unlimited is looking for more volunteer tutors!
Work one-to-one with an ESOL (English Speakers of Other Languages) student or teach a student how to read and write.
Literacy is a lifesaving skill you can impart to a student to help them succeed. You do not need to be bilingual or have a teaching background.

For New Students
Registration for the waiting list for a one-to-one teacher for ESOL or Basic Literacy will be opening in September 2024.
Exact dates and times for student registration will be posted soon.
It can take up to six months to be matched with a volunteer tutor or placed in a class. We encourage you to visit us during open office hours so we can meet you and show you all the resources Literacy and the library can offer for studying English independently while you wait.
