Charlie McOuat: "I love to laugh, cry and relate to people on a personal level. Tutoring at Literacy Volunteers has been one of the great experiences of my life….I teach my students English, but they teach me lessons in culture, compassion, and courage. No matter what kind of day I'm having, I always get a lift when I'm with them…I thank the staff for training me and giving me the opportunity to tutor such wonderful people."
