As a volunteer teacher for three semesters in NYC, I have had the most rewarding experience of my teaching career delivering instruction to adult learners from around the world, but primarily from Guinea, Ivory Coast, Central African Republic, Gambia, Burundi, Togo, Liberia, Haiti, Tibet, Yemen, and Iraq. I witnessed learners landing jobs, reuniting with family members, and graduating from one level of English to another. The organization provides so much support to struggling refugees, asylees and immigrants, mostly from donors and volunteers. It is truly an amazing place.
