Creative Starts

Mission Statement

Our mission is to ensure that each immigrant in attendance to our program grows and develops linguistically, academically, and socially in a culturally supportive environment so that they can fully participate in and be more accustomed to our society. We hope to build trust with the immigrants in attendance and to encourage their daily practice with the English language by boosting their confidence and being a friendly resource.

Program Description

Creative Start is an in-demand English tutoring program offered to local immigrants living in Waltham. Lesson plans are developed weekly according to the individuals’ level of English that are in attendance. We hope to be a resource and support system for the attendees and provide them with the daily language tools necessary to facilitate their adjustment to the American culture and way of life.

Special Notes

Bentley students with Spanish speaking skills are needed, although it is not mandatory for participation. No CORI required.
