The Hillsborough Literacy Council is committed to improving literacy by empowering adults through education.  Since 1986, the Literacy Council has provided motivated adults with confidential and personalized tutoring in Basic Literacy and English as a Second Language.   

• Fifteen percent of Hillsborough County citizens are functioning at the lowest levels of literacy.  That means approximately 120,000 adults in this county read below the fourth grade level. 
• 93,000 adults cannot speak English. 

To become a student, adults over the age of 18 may call our office to register (813.273.3650).   Adults wishing to tutor, please visit the Volunteer page.  HLC has helped thousands of adults to improve their literacy skills, and we are proud of our many successes and continued efforts to fight illiteracy and language barriers in Hillsborough County, Florida.
