What Our Learners and Tutors Say:

"I am determined to do better. When you cannot read, you cannot do what you want to do in life."

Literacy Delaware Learner

"It is an opportunity to spend dedicated time a couple of times a week to help someone else progress in life. It feels like time well spent."

Literacy Delaware Tutor

"I am continuing to improve my English and I am trying to find a job. I feel I have more freedom now and I am very happy. I can buy a car and I will start applying for some jobs."

Literacy Delaware Learner

"You will make a difference in the lives of others, those who are vulnerable. It is an incredibly rewarding experience."

Literacy Delaware Tutor

"I got my citizenship, and it feels so good for my family! You can do it! I did it and it was not that hard, so if you just keep trying and trying, you will get it."

Literacy Delaware Learner

"I feel like there will be challenges, but if I keep going, they will not be that bad. Stay focused, stay determined, and keep going to get what you want."

Literacy Delaware Learner

"My goal is to get my GED. Education is light. You cannot see anything without education."

Literacy Delaware Learner

"It's a great thing to help someone else. Try to put yourself in their shoes. Imagine you lived in a foreign country with insufficient knowledge of the language."
