The receptionist and directors run a bad business and steal from the poor. We were told to pay $200 to take classes because we could not show a pay check. we agreed because knowing English was important to my mother. But we asked for a particular class and they agreed to refund the money if class could not be found. after we paid they could not find a class and now also will not refund. we have not taken even one class. stealing from poor old people! these people shd be proud! - Volunteers - Stay away from this place. you may not be helping! At least know their practices before offering your help. Tutors are great. management is poor!

I am an international student living in some apartment of Houston with my wife and a child. We heard that your 'council' is offering 'free' English courses and went to 12530 Emily court on 25 January of 2017 at around 14.30 to enroll my wife for 'free' courses. The lady behind the counter said that i should declare proof of income to be eligible for 30$ fee, otherwise i should pay 200$ for some exam. (I didn't know that the exam may as expensive as TOEFL). I explained her that as an international student i have no income and can not work in US. She asked me where do i live and and how do i pay my rent ??? I was shocked because i didn't know that you are offering discount only for homeless. So I felt responsibility to explain that being able to rent an apartment does not show your income, because you may have a lot of money for living but have no income at all because you saved some money. Anyway we gave up on 'free' course opportunities with discount for homeless and will try to find a course where people does not ask for proof of income and does care how do i pay my rent. Excuse my 'unliteracy' just in case.

Good cause

The manage are very well . The tutor are responsible and high level and nice.

I love volunteering for this organization. I wish I had more time. If you have the time, it's worth the effort. Plus the staff makes it so easy to train and get started.
