Keeping you up to date on the many ways Beverly Bootstraps provides critical resources to families and individuals so they may achieve self-sufficiency.
The ESOL programs at Beverly Bootstraps have nearly doubled in size!
What is ESOL?
Our English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program focuses on basic communication skills. Our aim is for students to become confident, accurate, fluent speakers and writers of English.
Why such an increase?
We believe it is the personalized approach to every student, the wonderful sense of community and the flexibility in offering classes that meet a variety of schedules. When students have a successful experience they are much more likely to recommend our programs to their friends and family.
What the students have to say...
"I like class. It's very nice. All the students are very good and helpful."
"I want to learn more English and good communication so I can get a job."
"I need to speak English to communicate with people and to talk to my sons teachers."
Our students realize the importance of learning English to be able to gain employment. They also know when they come here they have access to many other forms of support - to help them on their path to self-sufficiency.
