Fairfield-Area Educational Program Seeks Tutors

FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Fairfield’s County’s Mercy Learning Center is looking for new tutors to help with its programs.

Mercy Learning Center, in Bridgeport, operates educational programs for women in the area. Its programs include basic literacy, English as a second language, high school equivalency and basic life skills. About 600 women each year participate in the center’s classes.
