We're moving!

The Siena Learning Center has a new home! Our new space at 114 West Main in New Britain has some history … it served for years as downtown New Britain’s post office. It was purchased by the current owner in 2022 and has been completely restored.

The new center is just 5 minutes away from our old location and is on 16 bus routes.

We look forward to meeting you there!

Gifts in honor of Theodora "Teddy" Skoczylas

We are blessed by her memory

Our dear friend Teddy went home on August 10, 2024.

She always had a smile on her face because she loved Tutoring here. She told us that tutoring at the Siena Learning Center rescued her during the COVID-19 pandemic because it gave her a reason to get out.

Every Christmas she loved to shop for toys that she would donate to our families’ children.

“Teddy,  I will miss your beautiful smile and loving hugs. Your Learners will miss you as well.”
Center Director Nancy Rodriguez

Teddy asked that those who wish to honor her memory send a gift to support the Siena Learning Center.

How Can You Help?

The Siena Learning Center relies on our volunteer tutors to provide one-on-one assistance to our adult learners, and donations to help us provide books and materials.

How Can You Help?

Volunteer as a Tutor!

If you speak English, you can teach it.

Many people believe they can’t teach English if they can’t speak the learner’s language.  But if you speak English, you can teach it… we can show you how!
