1:1 Tutoring

VLC offers free 1:1 tutoring for children and youth in Grades 2-12. Our volunteer tutors strive to help students build skills, confidence, and a love of learning.

Is This Program the Right Fit?

Victoria Literacy Connection supports children and youth who need extra help with reading or math.

This program may be a good fit if your child:

  • Is below grade level in reading or math
  • Is receiving “Emerging” or “Developing” on their school learning evaluations
  • Would benefit from extra practice and encouragement with a volunteer tutor
  • Can work with a volunteer tutor in a calm, supportive setting

When Other Supports May Be Helpful

Every child learns in different ways. Some children need more specialized support than our volunteer tutors can provide.

If a child has more complex learning or behavioural needs, other organizations in the community may be able to help.

If this is the case, we are happy to share referrals, such as:

Our goal is to help families find the support that works best for their child.
