and your needs and set you up with a volunteer who can help you.
Please understand that we have a limited number of tutors.
If one is not available, you will be put on a waiting list.
Who will tutor me?
You will learn from a volunteer who is donating his or her time to help you learn.
To help ensure your safety, TLLC performs a background check on each volunteer.

We are unable to tutor in private homes.
Will anyone know that I am being tutored?
Lessons are private and confidential.
How much does tutoring cost?
It is free!
Is the tutor paid for the lesson?

Is TLLC the right match for all students?
In the interest of safety for both volunteers and students, we reserve the right to refuse services to some individuals.
We will refer them to places that could be a more suitable match.
