Some Kind Words!
From learners, parents, tutors, board members, and staff.
"A lot of learning - grammar, spelling, pronunciation, and much more... with professional teachers who help us to improve and increase our knowledge."
|
"I came here for help. I found the tutors to be patient, loving and comprehensive. I leave better prepared and more self-confident."
|
"I like the attention to every student."
"I like to learn with the others. The teacher shows many examples which make the course more interesting."
"Although I am in class to help others, I always end up learning something new!"
"The first time I found myself in front of a class of students, I discovered what my career was going to be. I love the exchange of information."
|
"I can give my opinion about current events... We discuss a lot of subjects and I make new friends. The teachers are fantastic."
"It is so interesting to meet the new people. They want so hard to learn - so motivated to learn - it is so inspiring."
"It was something completely different from what I was doing. The year before I was involved in volunteer work at a school helping children develop learning skills. When you asked me to volunteer - to tutor adults - I jumped at the chance."
|
"I started in the year 2000 and I had three students - one from Kahnawake and two from Chateauguay. I have had students that were with me for ten years. I have also had a student who went on to get her nurse's aide certification and has continued her studies to become a registered nurse. These are very satisfying experiences!"
- Lea (tutor)
"I thought it was really helpful - you guys were able to adapt to my learning style and figure out what was missing in my knowledge. My mother was relieved because somebody was able to help me!"
- Ashley (one-on-one learner)
"I am a retired teacher and have always been interested in literacy.
I started with the CVLC in the year 2000 and did a lot of volunteer tutoring. Now, I just want to keep in touch with literacy issues, so I have stayed on as board secretary - and also serve as the 'historical memory' of the organization."
"I believe in what CVLC does - teaching to read and write."
|
"I accepted the nomination in order to know more about the organization - to see some of the tutors and staff from a different angle."
"It is a gift to be here!"
|
"I have been running CVLC for the past 10 years. Why do I stay on? Because I love to teach and set up new projects. Teaching individuals who have problems reading and writing is a challenge because as a tutor one has to discover the missing blocks and find the appropriate material and approaches to fill these gaps. As an administrator, I can ensure that the services provided by CVLC can continue to be available to the citizens of Chateauguay and surrounding area."
|
"I have been involved with CVLC for over 11 years as a volunteer tutor, as board treasurer, vice-president and as the program manager. I love both the teaching and the independence of setting up office procedures based on my experiences in working in a large corporation, as well as doing freelance work in art, editing, and research. All my skills and knowledge have been utilized -- and I am still learning!"
