Adult Programs

 

Tutoring
The Teton Literacy Program began by offering tutoring to native English Speakers who had fallen through the cracks and were illiterate. We have expanded our tutoring program to now serve English Language Learners, as well. The tutoring program matches trained volunteers with students wishing to improve their literacy and language skills. These pairs meet once a week at various times, depending on their schedule. Please contact TLP if you are interested in volunteering or receiving tutoring services.

Adult English Classes
Adult English classes are offered in 3, 12 week sessions throughout the year, Fall, Winter and Summer These classes are held 2 nights a week, during the evening from 6-8pm. We are excited to offer 4 different levels for our Fall 2008 session. Registration for the fall will begin September 2nd. TLP offers Drop-In English Classes to accommodate students who cannot commit to attending a full session of evening courses, or who wish to supplement their studies. These classes are Monday & Wednesdays 10 am -12 pm during sessions.

Work-based English Classes
We also offer a series of English classes for workers in housekeeping and construction/landscaping jobs. We tailor these classes to meet the needs of businesses and their specific goals. Classes can be designed to meet for any desired length of time. TLP would love to support your organization and their language efforts.

Language Lab
Computer-based courses are now available thanks to a new language lab. The purchase of 10 laptops in a mobile cart as made possible by the generous donations of Jack and Lynne Fritz and Stand and Barbara Trachtenberg. we offer 2 levels of computer-based courses throughout the year and have open lab hours.These courses enable students to navigate different websites where they can independently practice English skills. These classes also offer students opportunities to improve basic computer skills, as well as familiarize themselves with language learning software available at our facility. In addition, instructors expose students to websites that students may find useful for practical life skills, such as the site for looking up the auto prices through Kelly Blue Book.
