"My teacher is very nice so I don’t get nervous. I can hear sentences more clearly because my teacher knows how to make me understand. She has experience. I want to learn more. Now, I have confidence to shop and to go to restaurants. I can talk in English with my son although I don’t speak English fluently, but my son said, “I’m proud of you. You learn English every day”. " Student Yuying

"...I'm capable to understand, to read, to write, and speak more fluently and confidently because this program gives me the support and strength to be a better person and better 'American Citzen'." Student Leon

Yuying, Leon, Youn Fu, and Xiao are great examples of the many students who have been helped by  Literacy NJ's Adult Education Program. Whether it is finding a better job, helping their kids in school, or becoming a more involved member of the community, our  students have the opportunity to improve their literacy skills to achieve important personal and civic goals.

During Covid we have worked hard to provide  online instruction, train tutors who are proficient in remote learning and ensure students have devices that enable them to continue class...all of these challenges require extra resources...
