Review for Aquinas Literacy Center, Chicago, IL, USA
I have volunteered as an ESL tutor with Aquinas Literacy Center for two years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I have worked with the same student for much of this time, and have been impressed with his dedication and his progress. The staff has been friendly and helpful in preparing tutors for the experience of working with students. The center feels like a genuine community comprised of tutors, students and staff.
