In the first meeting, the mentor gauges the worker’s English profi ciency level. The pair then begins working on skills the worker wants to learn. Each pair could have an entirely different curriculum, Toler said. But the objective remains the same. The tutoring program aims to give them skills that allow them to communicate better with co workers and bosses, creating a safer, more productive workplace, he said. The program also tries to bridge the gap between students and workers and make workers feel welcome on campus. “We want to build these rela tionships with the whole UNC community not just teachers and students,” Zepeda said. But the program is also ben eficial for students, Toler said. Not only do they gain teaching experi ence, but they also form close rela tionships with their worker. “It’s not just about teaching them English but about develop ing that relationship with them,” said Toler, who has been tutoring the same worker since he entered the program two years ago. “In the hour that we have, we easily spend 15-20 minutes talk ing about life in general. We’ve definitely gotten really close.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. REAL ESTATE FROM PAGE 3 “This just means people just have to watch their credit and make good choices, which I don’t think is a bad thing,” Hayes said. This lack of loans has affected the affordable housing market Bailey said afford able homes have not moved as fast as Empowerment would like, but the group is looking at the bright side. Renovations occurring at their Northside and Pine Knolls prop erties lend some hope for the future. “People will always want to move to Chapel Hill,” she said.
