Julie's story as an adult learner
"If I had a tutor like Anne back at school it really would have made a difference. What I’d say to others is, don’t feel ashamed. Come in and see someone. I feel better in myself, more confident. I can now go to the supermarket and add things up, read the backs of cans and know what is inside."

Deb's story
“It’s great to do work that makes a difference and when I hear stories of how people are confident, can problem solve at work and read to their children, it’s very satisfying."
