Summary

Kun has progressed from someone who couldn’t have a conversation in English without her daughter to translate to someone who can leave simple phone messages and who seeks out conversations with staff at the centre. In addition, Kun feels more connected to her teenage children’s school and their progress. The tutoring experience has been immensely rewarding for me because I believe that I have been able to facilitate an improved connection between Kun and our community. What a privilege!
