Adults come to Read Write Now from all walks of life, each with different goals and experiences. Read Write Now offers free, confidential one-on-one tutoring to help adults improve reading, writing, digital and everyday maths skills—the foundation of life literacy. These are the skills needed to understand information, communicate effectively, achieve goals and participate fully in everyday life.
Building these skills can increase confidence, support learning and employment opportunities, and improve independence at home and in the community.
The program is funded by the Western Australian Department of Training and Workforce Development and is available to:
After an initial phone conversation with the Read Write Now Central team, a local Coordinator will meet with you to discuss your needs and goals and match you with a trained volunteer tutor.
You will then begin weekly one-on-one sessions, either online or at a local library or community location. Sessions run for around 1-2 hours and are tailored to your goals, focusing on real-life skills for everyday tasks, work or study.

Your tutor is a trained volunteer who will support you with patience, respect and understanding. They work alongside you at your pace, helping you build skills in a relaxed, pressure-free environment.
Each learner is carefully matched with a tutor to support a positive and successful learning experience.
