I
joined a TNKR class yesterday with a refugee who has gone from putting her head
on her desk so she could avoid interacting with me to now initiating a
conversation with me.
One of the key main things we are hearing from refugees is
that they gain confidence from talking with TNKR tutors 1 to 1. In classroom
situations they get lost in the shuffle, they lack the confidence to try to
speak.
She and Christine Kim are now studying together twice a week.
