About Us

Helping Adults build Skills and Confidence

Read Write Now provides free, one-to-one tutoring for adults across Western Australia.

Learners work with trained volunteer tutors to improve their reading, writing, maths, digital or study skills. Learning is shaped around each person’s goals and usually takesplace for 1-2 hours each week, online or in a public library.

Our Story

Read Write Now began in 1977 with a simple belief: every adult deserves the chance to learn.

From small beginnings, we have grown into a trusted community volunteer organisation supporting adults across metropolitan, regional and remote Western Australia.

Today, hundreds of learners and volunteer tutors connect each year, building skills, confidence and stronger communities.

Our Partners and Supporters

Read Write Now is funded by the Western Australian Department of Training and Workforce Development and receives in-kind support from North Metropolitan TAFE.

We also work with the Reading Writing Hotline, public libraries, community organisations and business partners to conntect more adults with free learning support.
