Meet Julianne, who has been tutoring since 2017, as she shares her experience with her student Eli: "Since Eli communicates in English at an intermediate level, our time spent together is focused on advancing her conversational ease. ... Each week, we talk about various topics - always working to expand her vocabulary and comprehension. We have spent time working to further her professional development, including updating her resume and writing cover letters. More recently, we began reading our first English novel! While it is a challenge, it is also a lot of fun to work through together. The tutor program allows students an outlet to begin feeling comfortable using English every day. As more time is spent together, the more the student is able to open up to learning and trying new things. I am very lucky to call Eli my friend, and am so proud of how far she has come."
