Members of the vast immigrant population in the United States who do not speak English are at a significant disadvantage in U.S. society— in the workplace, when purchasing a home, or even when navigating public transportation. ELL tutors provide the important skill of English proficiency to learners, and along with this language development, students gain a new cultural awareness that will assist them tremendously as they begin their lives in the U.S.

Our program has been awarded by CNN as one of its Top 10 Heroes; Manhattan Institute awarded us as a Civil Society; Microsoft Corp awarded the director as one of three International Women in Technology. Since COVID-19 Pandemic, our one-on-one tutoring face-to-face programs are now Online .

The Director is available to answer all questions. Our focus is for our learners to progress in English language skills, giving them the ability to find jobs, help their school children with homework and other school activities, and become independent, resourceful people in their communities. We need a grant writer to create successful proposals to obtain funds to continue our program to grow.
