How does it work?
After a chat with the local organiser, tuition will be arranged to fit in with your work or family commitments. Most people join one of our small, informal groups. Some people attend once a week, others attend more often. Classes run in the evenings and during the day at local venues such as Opportunity Centres, Community Use Schools and Community Centres.
Everybody works on what they have chosen to learn, at their own level and their own pace.
- All tuition and courses are free
- There's a pre-course interview to discuss your learning needs.
- The service is available throughout Fife.
- Groups meet during the day and in the evening.
- Groups consist of 5 to 8 students.
- Learners can start and leave at any time of the year.
- Travel expenses are paid for eligible learners

Some local colleges also run workshops to help you with English and basic maths, and may also offer support for other subjects. Contact your local college for further information.
