Meet Tutor Carloyn and Learner Il Jeon

Literally Speaking: May 2021
Carolyn Cosgrove spent 40+ years in advertising when she and her business partner decided to sell their agency and retire. She wanted to volunteer with an organization that was close to her heart with reading and writing. After 10+ years of tutoring, NMPL still holds that place. When a friend recommended the program to Il Jeong Choi, she registered for New Learner Orientation and got an assessment. From there she participated in several classes before being matched with Carolyn for one on one tutoring.
Il Jeong, did you feel nervous about
the program when you started?
IJ: Yes, I was very nervous because
my English was not perfect then, and my writing and speaking were horrible.
Thus, I didn’t know how to communicate and explain my goals. The one thing only
I had then was passionate and brave about learning English.
Carolyn, how do you get ideas for
what to work on during sessions?
C: Various. Great support from the
Literacy Office and their many resources, current events/articles I think my
Learner would enjoy discussing and writing about, etc. Each session is
different. READ
