FAQ
I want to speak English better - do you have conversation groups?

Yes! Conversation groups are facilitated by a trained volunteer.
Adults (and teens 16+ who are not enrolled in school) who reside in Bernalillo County. Unfortunately, we do not tutor children.

Where and when will I meet with my tutor?
You and your tutor will meet at a public place like our office, the library, Goodwill offices or community centers. For safety purposes, students and tutors do not meet in private homes. You and your tutor will meet on days and times convenient for both of you.
While it's not everyone's favorite, to get the most out of your time at Reading Works, you will be assigned homework.
Do you provide childcare while I am meeting with my tutor?
When will I be matched with a tutor?
Matching depends on when a tutor is available and the schedule you provide us.
Unfortunately we do not provide childcare. You will have to arrange for child care when you meet with your tutor.
