Public commenter praises English Empowerment Center's free classes and tutoring
Summary
A retired teacher who now teaches at the English Empowerment Center told meeting attendees that the center offers free conversation classes and supplemental tutoring before and after classes, which she credits with improving students' English and encouraging family engagement at school.
A public commenter said she has taught for years and, after retiring, began teaching at the English Empowerment Center to continue working with adult learners. She told the meeting that helping students improve their English motivates her because it allows them to participate more in their children's school lives.
"There are many ways you can find support, through the English empowerment center besides just the classroom," the commenter said, describing services beyond core lessons. She said the center offers supplemental tutoring either before or after classes and noted, "they have conversation classes that are free, no registration required," which she said many students use to add to their classroom experience.
The commenter, who identified herself as a retired teacher, said the quality of instruction has improved students' English and confidence. She urged learners to persist: "Take English, like try, try, try your best. We can do it. I'm happy." No formal action or request for county funding or program changes was recorded during the comment.
The remarks were delivered during the meeting's public comment period and were presented as personal testimony about the center's services and impact on learners and their families.
