Amazing Progress!


The refugee that I am tutoring through the resettlement organization, for which I am a volunteer, has made amazing progress with her English reading, writing, and speaking skills. She wrote her name from the memory for the first time since I began tutoring, and she was extremely proud of herself, as she should be. It was such an amazing moment to witness! It has been such a rewarding experience to tutor this woman, and it is wonderful to watch her become more comfortable with the English language. The tutoring sessions have also served as an excellent way for me to grow as a person, as it has been quite challenging to teach someone how to speak, read, and write English who has never been literate in her native language.
