Information for Adult Learners
Founded in 1992, the Loyola Community Literacy Center offers free tutoring in English to adults. When we are tutoring in person, our tutoring center is on the Lake Shore Campus of Loyola University Chicago in Loyola Hall, 2nd Floor conference room, 1110 W. Loyola Avenue (Loyola Hall is 1/2 block east of the Loyola Red Line El stop: across Sheridan, and one-half block toward the lake along Loyola Avenue. The blue light emergency phone is in front of Loyola Hall). We also tutor online and at present we are only tutoring online; we are not meeting in person.
We offer only online tutoring in Spring 2025 and will do the same in Fall, 2025. Our Spring session will begin on Monday, January 27th. Our tutoring hours for learners are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 7:20-9:00 pm when the university is in session. Tutoring is by appointment only. Please email literacy@luc.edu for more information.
The LCLC offers free instruction in basic, beginning, intermediate, and advanced reading, writing, literacy, conversation, ESL, test preparation, citizenship, job skills, and GED skills to our adult neighbors in Rogers Park, Edgewater, and surrounding neighborhoods; adults from other parts of the Chicago area are also welcome. Our goal is to provide assistance to all adults who wish to improve their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills in English. We assist both native speakers of English and emergent multi-lingual learners.
In our 33rd year of service, the LCLC serves a highly diverse community of native-born adult learners as well as adults who were born in other countries. There is no charge for tutoring, and there are no entrance requirements, examinations, or other fees.
Our mission is to the neighborhood adults. We do not serve Loyola students who have other resources to assist them (the Writing Center and the Tutoring Center).
The LCLC is one of Loyola University Chicago'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. Our tutors are Loyola students, some of whom elect to earn course credit for tutoring at the Center as part of an internship. 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.
