We are pleased to share some of our adult leaner’s accomplishments so far this year. With the support of our skilled and dedicated volunteer tutors:
- 2 students received their GED
- 1 college student passed a required math class
- 1 ESL graduate student’s English proficiency improved to a level such that the student no longer needs support for writing a dissertation
- 1 student completed pre-GED level materials in three subjects and moved on to GED level studies, making significant progress toward the end goal of a GED
Congratulations to our adult learners and tutors for making life changing learning success happen.
