\"\"<\/p>\n

Saima has been volunteering with GiGi’s for about a year and has made a great impact in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n

She initially helped out with our events, and became a tutor in the Fall 2019 session. She taught three of our adult participants in both math and literacy.<\/p>\n

Many of our tutors worry that lack of experience will mean tutoring a student won’t be beneficial to them, but that’s absolutely not true! Anyone with the determination to make a difference will make great strides, and we definitely saw that with Saima.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>She always looks for ways to overcome challenges her students may be having and she finds out-of-the-box solutions to help them learn and retain information, as well as to get them out of their comfort zones.<\/p>\n

Saima is always ready to greet and spend time with her students and anyone who’s in the Playhouse when she is. Her friendly and bubbly personality is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Saima moved out of the state at the beginning of the year, and she will be very missed, but will always be a dear friend to the Playhouse!<\/p>\n
