STUDENT UPDATE: Jose Luis is now in the second level at Alianza Americana - but not before getting a 96% on his entrance exam! When we met him a few years ago, Jose Luis was a very shy child and we are so pleased to hear that he is now coming out of his shell. He is getting involved with his classmates and his English is strengthening. He is attending his classes every Saturday and is using what he learns at Alianza to help his school and his classmates.

STUDENT UPDATE: Tatiana is now in the third level at Alianza Americana, but before starting this level, she spent her time helping other students excel in their studies.
