“I have overcome my fears, anxiety and now feel more comfortable and welcome. I will say academic, I was so nervous about my academic and was already feeling overwhelmed and anxious, but Mrs. Patschke has helped me feel more comfortable by counseling me weekly and that helped me emotionally and psychologically.”
— Shedrack A. (Nigeria)
“Mrs. Patschke goes above and beyond to help me understand the lessons; she took her time in explaining it to me. In addition, she provided additional resources to help me grow better in my classes as I try to write in a second language. She has been a blessing. My favorite thing about ESL Services is that I get help with understanding cultural differences and Mrs. Patschke counsels me on it.”
— Eliana P. (Dominican Republic)
“Within the American culture, sometimes it is hard to fit in and make friends, but I got help with different language struggles to make friends. Mrs. Patschke makes learning fun, she helped me understand different assignments and also helped me with understanding the culture. I’m so happy because my grades have gotten better and I am doing better in college.”
— Hemberth P. (El Salvador)
“Coming to America has been hard for me. I don’t have family here and Mrs. P took me and made me feel seen. Even outside our sessions, just talking to her is fun. ESL Services helped me through a hard transition and I am so happy Mrs. P is here.”
