She came to Great Oaks Legacy to tutor. She stayed to teach. 💙

Ms. Bondima joined our tutoring program in 2023. Then came a moment she did not expect: letters from scholars during Teacher Appreciation.

“They saw me as their teacher.”

Today, she is one.

“Doing the fellowship at Great Oaks is the reason that I’m a teacher at Great Oaks. I stayed in the network. I want to be here. I want to grow here.”

Sometimes a tutoring opportunity becomes the start of something bigger.
