*Tutor sessions may be completed 100% online or a combination of online/in-person.  Students may request online or in-person tutoring support. If online, tutors will need a computer, WiFi, and a phone to participate. If in-person, tutoring is conducted in public locations such as libraries, coffee shops, etc.

The Literacy Alliance of Northeast Florida (formerly Learn to Read Jacksonville) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving adult literacy. We provide small group classes, computer lab learning, and tutors to help our adult students improve their reading, writing and math skills. 

We are always grateful for reading, math, and computer lab supplies.
