School and Tutors on Wheels
1515 West Ogden Avenue
LaGrange Park, IL 60526
School and Tutors on Wheels works to ensure the inclusion of those who are often excluded, underrepresented or undervalued because they lack English literacy skills. Since 1993, we have been providing free, mobile, individualized adult English literacy services in Cook and Du Page Counties in Illinois that help adults with low English literacy skills overcome the barriers that often prevent them from learning to read and write: lack of money, time, transportation and childcare as well as fear and embarrassment.
School on Wheels provides free adult literacy services in seven locations in a one-on-one environment on a 40-foot bus converted into a mobile classroom that is fully-equipped with desks, books, shelves and other resources. Tutors on Wheels offers free one-on-one English literacy tutoring in addition to group classes, citizenship preparation and “Learning on the Job” workplace literacy at ten locations. Our individualized attention enables the students to focus on their areas of need and learn at their own pace. Gradually, they become better able to find jobs, advance in the workplace, help their children with their homework, and communicate with doctors, teachers, neighbors, and merchants. Our students break out of the poverty cycle, improve their life situations, and more fully participate in their communities.
Our programs operate year round in day and evening shifts. We serve students from approximately 35 suburbs at fourteen sites in the Chicago metropolitan area. Our child-friendly sites, conveniently located for those who do not have transportation, include churches, schools, shopping centers, and libraries.
