Thank you to Cyril Boone for a most interesting and informative Tutor Talk April 4th. on the topic of exam requirements and methods in IELTS spoken language test section. The Tutoring Program often helps ESL students study for IELTS and CELPIP exams, so we were thrilled to have a speaker with so much experience in this area give a talk for the volunteer tutors.
Many heartfelt thanks to the Knights of Columbus for their generous donation is support of the literacy, numeracy and ESL tutors in our community.
