“Tutoring gives me much to enjoy. Meeting Jamali has shown me the world of new Americans more closely than ever before. The lessons are a time of close interaction, and Jamali’s willingness to work and sense of humor bring great energy and much laughter to the sessions. Tutoring with LearningWorks makes me feel like I’m doing something important.” – ELLP tutor Joe
“Khawlah’s progress and ‘can do’ attitude over the past six months have been nothing short of remarkable. We laugh and learn and share our cultures. Working with Khawlah has been a gift.” — ELLP tutor Dominique
