I was very pleased to take the Computer Literacy Program it was accommodating in my hectic schedule. They ensured the topics I wanted to cover would be discussed and assigned me to a tutor that had knowledge in the all the specific programs. My tutor CF was very nice and helpful, between both our hectic work-loads we were able to always make it work, we even re-reviewed some topics if I was frustrated and not understanding. She also went out of her way to provide me with information later of questions she couldn’t answer or guide me in the right direction. She was patient, supportive, and very easy to work with. I am looking forward to the next course I will be taking. Also, the director M was easy to work with is friendly and helped guide me with other knowledgeable courses to take in the future. - AT age 37

CB volunteers for Victoria Literacy Connection and donates her time to help those of us that are struggling. She is sweet, intelligent, dependable, considerate, so helpful and supports me with my computer struggles. She also brings joy and companionship to my life and I appreciate her so much. I am a handicapped low-income senior and anyone that gives freely of their valuable time and energy is a gem in our society. She deserves to be praised above and beyond for her contribution to making life better for those of us who really need guidance, support and the big bonus – we get to learn at the same time. – JA age 75

“I am working with CE who is a wonderful computer coach. She is knowledgeable and knows a great deal about cells phones which is a bonus for me. I am feeling more confident on the computer and cell phone which is an asset, because with covid and as a result of my age, I find I am using webinars and online information more than ever before so being up to date is really important.” – RE age 69
