“Here at the shelter we have had ESL classes for 10 years but this is first time we have had a course (English in 24 Hours) and a teacher who got results in such a short time. Our homeless and unemployed students are getting jobs because of their new English skills, thanks to Sandy and her instructors.” Bridget Shaheen, Director of Lazarus House Ministries.

Delia is over 60 and works at a hotel. When she started studying the English in 24 Hour course, she was surprised that she was learning the alphabet and how to print. Even her husband was surprised. Everyday she would sit down for lunch with the Americans at her job and never say anything. One day she asked her co-worker to pass the salt, everyone was surprised that she could speak English. Now she doesn’t stop talking!

“After the check-writing lesson, I didn’t have to ask anyone else to write my check for me. I felt like a responsible adult again.” Rogerio Santos, Eng24H student

“Two years ago, I came to the U.S. without knowing any English. I started the English in 24 Hours course, and now I am enrolled in my first semester of college to get a degree in business. I had my own business in Ecuador and thought that I would never be able to work here!” Rafael Frias, Cambridge College
