The East Side Learning Center provides free one-on-one tutoring for low income St. Paul K-4 students who read below grade level.

Since 2001 the East Side Learning Center (ESLC) has endeavored to be a major force in “unlocking each child’s potential through the foundation of reading.” The ESLC works towards this mission by providing free one-on-one reading tutoring for St. Paul students in grades K-4 who read below grade level and are unable to get help elsewhere.

Children receive 30-50 minutes of tutoring three to four times a week with trained volunteers and educators. Licensed educators create individualized lesson plans for each child.

Tutoring takes place at five sites in St. Paul: Community of Peace Academy, HOPE Community Academy, John A. Johnson Elementary, St. Matthew’s School, and St. Paul Music Academy. In 2010-2011 the ESLC provided over 12,000 hours of one-on-one reading tutoring for 214 students with the aid of 245 volunteer and professional tutors!

    Can't think of a better mission than literacy for long term results for families, community and the economy. And ESLC does it so well.
