Tutor Stories

“She had told me that she wanted to converse better because she did not want to embarrass her American husband. At Thanksgiving, he told her she talked too much. Guess it’s working ;-)”
– Kathy H., LVFV tutor

“I taught my Polish student how to count dollars and coins. She realized that the coffee shop that she went to everyday was short changing her. The next thing she wanted to learn was how to complain to the owner.”
–Rod M., LVFV tutor

“My student has come a long way from being an abused runaway child at Cabrini Green. And she is trying her best to be a really good grandmother so that the abusive behavior stops with her. I think we need to pick out some books for Gramma to read to her granddaughter. That’s my next step. You gave me a wonderful gift when you introduced me to my student.”
–Shelley B., LVFV tutor
