Tutors on Wheels

A Division of School on Wheels

Tutors on Wheels (TOW) is an adult literacy program that offers free ESL classes to low-income minority immigrants living and working in several suburban communities in DuPage County, Illinois: Naperville, Wheaton, Glendale Heights, and Addison.

Sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph, students receive one-on-one tutoring right in their own neighborhoods, job sites, or local        Marilyn with Jorge

churches.

TOW builds on the Sisters' original literacy program, School on Wheels, but is not attached to a mobile classroom. Volunteers go to churches, businesses, or social service agencies and teach students English literacy classes or GED, or offer help with passing the citizenship test. Trainings of 2-3 hours and teaching materials are provided.

To learn more about Tutors on Wheels, or to become a tutor, please call 708-354-9200, ext. 5035 or 5037.

Training sessions are usually offered on Saturday mornings periodically throughout the year. They can be arranged by calling Program Director Jeanie Jadran at 708-354-9200, Ext. 5035.

Donations to offset operations are welcome from individuals, civic organizations, and grants from foundations and corporations.
