My Project

As an ESOL teacher, I am privileged to work with an incredible group of students who inspire me daily with their resilience, curiosity, and determination to succeed. I love my students and am committed to providing them with every possible opportunity to thrive.

Many of my students face challenges learning English while navigating new cultural and academic environments.

To support their growth, I am seeking your help to provide tablets for their learning. These devices will open doors to a wealth of resources tailored to enhance their listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills. Interactive programs will allow them to practice pronunciation with real-time feedback, explore leveled reading materials, develop writing skills with scaffolding tools, and build confidence through virtual language exchanges.

This project will transform the way my students learn, giving them personalized tools to progress at their own pace and meet their unique needs. By integrating technology, we can create an engaging, supportive environment that helps them build the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.

I truly believe in the potential of my students, and I know that with the right resources, they can achieve amazing things. Your support will not only provide essential tools for their education but will also show them that their community believes in their potential.
