In this group there are 3 persons. One is Ademir, Ninaand Felsy. Everybody studied English for almost threemonths. Our class is always very interesting because,there are people from different countries and differentlanguage. Others speak Russian, Spanish, Portugueseetc. Our teacher is very good and intelligent woman.She is committed, we all like our teacher. Thanks.– Ademir, Nina, Felsy, Students (Beginner 2 Evening Class)Three years ago I was lucky to be assigned a personal tutor. I still remember the first timeI met with Brooke. I told her that I wanted to pass the MTEL test to get teaching licensureso I can be a Chinese teacher here. Starting from that day we had a very friendly teacherstudentrelationship.After 1 year of meeting I passed my MTEL test and got my teaching licensures. Brookethen became my best coach, she helped me edit my resume, before I had an interview, shehelped me practice. Two years ago I found a teaching job. Brooke plays a very importantrole in my communication with parents and colleagues. Her help goes far beyond the onehour tutoring meeting. I have no words to express my appreciation and my thanks for herkind help. I really enjoy our close and friendly relationship.– MuQing Gu, StudentThrough Project Literacy I have had the opportunity to tutor both Samaporn and Prem,a husband and wife from Thailand, who recently became first-time parents to babyElizabeth. They have both been very motivated and diligent students—unfailingly politeand grateful for the language assistance they receive through Project Literacy. Premworks very hard all week, but still finds time to complete the vocabulary and grammarexercises for our lessons. I know that Prem and Samaporn will be wonderful parents toElizabeth, who will benefit from her parents’ improved English language skills as shegrows up in the United States. It has been very satisfying to get to know this family andto assist them in learning English.– Erika Geetter, Tutor21
