Coos Adult Education offers individual and small group instruction in basic reading, writing, math, English as a second language (ESL), and preparation for the HiSET exam. Learn more at coosae.org.

 

Individual Tutoring

The heart of the program lies in one-to-one tutoring. Meetings with the volunteer tutor are private and happen at a time and place that is mutually convenient. Many people find they flourish with the personalized attention they receive.

 

Small Group Classes

Some areas in the state provide small group instruction for ESL, HiSET preparation, or basic skills. Time and length of sessions vary from place to place.

 

Student Requirements

  • Must be 18 years of age or older.

  • Meet 2 to 4 hours per week with a tutor or attend class regularly

  • Complete homework

  • Contact tutor in advance to cancel or postpone a lesson. 

 

On-going Registration

To make a confidential appointment, call the Coos Adult Education office 603-752-1927. Part of the initial meeting will include an informal assessment of the student's current skill level and a discussion of their educational goals. For those interested in the HiSET, a practice test will be given when appropriate.
