A practical guide for adult literacy & numeracy services

The first ALA webinar for 2025 will focus on adult literacy methods and resources to reduce educational fear.

Long-time volunteer literacy tutor, Amanda Wilson, will present the findings of her Churchill Fellowship research into how tutors can reduce psychological barriers to adult learning.

Amanda visited five countries, 25 literacy service providers, and interviewed 90 passionate adult literacy professionals and has now developed a practical guide for adult literacy and numeracy service providers, tutors, industry bodies and education policy makers.

Amanda says that the findings show that when we tutor in a way that reduces educational fear, every adult literacy learner can benefit, from the most fearful to the most confident.
