Building community through language and literacy

We aim to provide access to free and flexible one on one English tutoring to the English language learners of our community

Diablo Valley Literacy Council (DVLC) is an all volunteer organization committed to supporting the adult English language learners (ELL) of our Bay Area community through weekly, individualized English tutoring. We aim to support our students in their journey to English proficiency by building speaking, listening comprehension, and literacy skills.

Our tutors receive training on how to tailor their instruction approach to best fit their student’s goals and current English ability. This gives our tutors the capability to support their student in improving their English language and literacy skills, as well as the confidence to use those skills in a variety of life settings.
