English Language Services

Literacy Council of Tyler’s English Language Services is currently our largest program. We have morning and evening classes available at several locations and skill levels to allow students to find a class that meets their needs. In addition to their classes, many of our English Language students meet with tutors on an individual or small group basis to enhance their learning experience.

We also offer interested students U.S. Citizenship classes to help prepare them for their citizenship exam.

LCOT has programs in several locations in Tyler as well as in other areas of East Texas. Class schedules and locations are listed below. This information is subject to change as our program needs and resources change so always confirm a class location or scheduled time with our staff.
