Our Program
Siena Literacy Center offers adult education services in reading, math, English as a Second Language, and digital literacy.
Adult learners are matched with a personal tutor and work with them on an individual curriculum. Most tutors and learners meet at Siena or via video chat once a week for two hours to work toward goals.
Learners also spend time using educational software in our computer lab or from home.

We also partner with the Oak Park Public Library to provide English conversation groups for non-native English speakers who want to practice their conversation skills in a safe and social environment: sign up now.
