Greetings Friends of the English Empowerment Center,

An exciting new season is upon us at the English Empowerment Center. While there are many reasons to be excited for fall, EEC is most excited for the start of our new semester! Our fall classes will begin next week, on September 25 and 26 with over 700 learners enrolled. We cannot wait for a week filled with welcoming new learners, reconnecting with friends, and encouraging learners on their journey to English language proficiency and empowerment.

Roshan Nawid , originally from Afghanistan, moved to the United States in September of 2022 and soon found the English Empowerment Center. Roshan began learning English in 2008 and his English skills were too high for our classes. He was still interested in getting involved and finding ways to practice his English language skills. Initially starting as a class aide, his passion for education and exceptional teaching skills caught the attention of the English Empowerment Center staff. Before long, he advanced to the role of Lead Instructor.

At the English Empowerment Center, we understand the great challenges of learning a new language and recognize the commitment of our learners in their English language journeys. While we offer our beginning English classes in the fall, spring, and summer, it can be difficult for learners to maintain all they have learned and to continue their learning during the weeks between class sessions. This is why we strive to provide quality resources for our learners to continue learning during those critical weeks.
