LEARNER STORIES Angela
I
am an immigrant from Colombia in this country. I began to receive help to
improve my English a few years ago with an excellent program of tutoring in the
library
of Monrovia.
My
tutor at that time was a great person, Bryan Smith, who helped me a lot. Now I
am accompanied by an excellent tutor, Margaret Page, who every week gives me a
lot of help with reading newspapers and books, writing paragraphs, and
conversation about different and interesting topics.
Every
day I feel that I advance to achieve my goals and that of my tutor.
Many
thanks to this program for not only supporting Hispanics but to all the
cultures that we find here.
I
hope to continue for a long time with this excellent program.
