Help students reach their full potential through personalized instruction.

Literacy Changes Lives
Imagine sitting down at a restaurant and not being able to read the menu. Walking through a grocery store, unable to understand the labels on the food you need to feed your family. Struggling to read a bedtime story to your child. For many, reading is second nature—but for others, it’s a daily challenge that limits their opportunities and independence.
At Good Counsel Learning Center, we believe that reading—and education as a whole—should never be out of reach. For over 50 years, we have been helping local students, refugees, and immigrants reach their full potential through personalized instruction. Our tutoring services provide a flexible and supportive learning environment that equips students with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in school and beyond.
Founded by the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Mankato, MN, our mission carries forward their commitment to education for all—because learning is not a privilege; it’s a right. We meet each student where they are, guiding youth and adults of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds toward achieving their personal and academic goals.
Education opens doors. Literacy changes lives. Together, we can build a community where no one is left behind.
