Adult Basic Education (ABE)
Adult Basic Education (ABE) services are for adult learners who speak English, but want to improve their reading, writing, or math. ABE services offered by Literacy Source include one-to-one tutoring and small group classes. Students are encouraged to stack classes and tutoring and/or repeat the same course more than once in order to promote progress.
All programs are offered at our Fremont center and are free to adults who qualify based on where they live and their income. If you don’t qualify for Literacy Source services, we can tell you about other learning programs.
ABE Classes
In our ABE classes, students learn in small groups with one or
two teachers. All classes follow the quarter system. Some classes are
like a lab where students each work on different skills, while others
are more structured around common learning goals. Your adviser can help
you find the right class for you. Listed below are some of the ABE
classes offered:
-
• Public Speaking & Presentation Skills
• Math Tools for Life
• Reading Tools for Life
• Advanced Writing
ABE Tutoring
One-one-one tutoring is offered in every basic skill area to students who qualify as low-income. Students and tutors are matched for a year and generally meet for three hours per week (two sessions of 1.5 hours each).
