I was looking for a place to learn and to grow and to pursue my dreams. I can read better and understand what I read, as well as solve math problems I couldn’t do before. It takes hard work and motivation on my part, and the Literacy Alliance provides the teachers, classes, and kindness to help people at no cost. I am so grateful and thankful for the Literacy Alliance.

This class is like a family who learns together and supports each other. Sitting at a round table lends itself to a great learning experience, not only by the students, but the teacher as well.

Ken, Small Group Instructor

Lynn took the time to help me understand and answer my questions. I was able to improve my vocabulary, writing skills, and pronunciation.

Once your confidence builds up, you feel like you can do anything from that point on.

I have watched a parade of hopeful people come through my classroom and I have been awed by their courage and resiliency. They have gotten their driver’s licenses, jobs and promotions, found the confidence to leave abusive partners, read street signs and fortune cookies and medicine bottles and Bibles and business letters and textbooks and stories to children. All of this I have watched and my students have watched each other and we have all cheered.

Nancy, Small Group Instructor

I can’t tell you how excited I am about [my students’] accomplishments – it makes all of my efforts worthwhile! I love it!

Kathy, Tutor

I’m so thrilled to hear that K enjoyed our time together. I am so excited to see his progress and so happy that I have my hand in helping. He is such a special young man.
