Tutoring at Literary Leftovers
We offer free tutoring from a collective of fantastic retired local educators and experts in a variety of subjects, across a range of grades (K-12). See below for their information.
This year, tutoring is by appointment only. You can call Miss Corrie at (971) 400-7991 to schedule with the appropriate tutor for your students.
All tutoring appointments MUST be held here at the bookshop, during open hours. We are closed Sundays, and tutoring is not available on that day.
This is a free program and no fee will be charged.
