Meet Super Student Christopher B.
“Taking online classes changed my education by granting me the autonomy to advance academically despite physical transportation barriers. A pleasant surprise was how deeply connected I became to the online community, which inspired me to serve as a tutor and Virtual Buddy with the NCVPS PTC.” – Christopher B.
Meet Super Student Luna S.
“Two years ago, I was simply a student who turned to NCVPS for a language credit. Then a tutor for volunteer hours. I wasn’t planning on getting involved any further. But then the combination of NCVPS needing an open house speaker and one free afternoon turned into me sitting in a Zoom call with around thirty adults. It was terrifying because you couldn’t even see the faces people were making! But learning how to speak to adults and carry yourself with confidence are skills I’ve gained from NCVPS. Now, in a classroom of thirty silent students, I speak up because you really can do no harm in having a conversation with your professor.” -Luna S.
Meet Super Student Kae S.
“Taking Japanese courses online deepened my connection with my own country’s rich cultures and traditions, and allowed me to connect with like-minded students. Additionally, taking Math III online opened up various opportunities for me to take advanced math courses, some of which are my favorite classes today.”
Meet Super Student Samuel G
Taking an online course also allows me to understand my own way of learning which will allow me to better understand material. The online course I took also helped me realize that I won’t always grasp the concept on the first try. This course has also helped me procrastinate less than I would have.” – Samuel G.
Meet Super Student Aubrey H.
“Taking an online course, I learned how to use my time wisely and focus on important things during the school week.” – Aubrey H.
Meet Super Student Esther P
“Taking an online course taught me a lot of things outside the course. I have learned how to manage my own time, and how to get things done due to deadlines. Since having NCVPS also allows me to do lessons at home, I was able to get ahead so I had time for other activities.” – Esther P.
Meet Super Student Victor E
“A pleasant surprise about taking online classes has been that my teacher opens the entire module and we can get the work done at our pace which I would say is a pretty nice touch.” – Victor E.
Meet Super Student Abbigail B
“One pleasant surprise I’ve had is how helpful and empathetic my teacher has been! If I’ve had any trouble, questions, or concerns about any classwork, my teacher is always quick to respond and consider what I have to say!” – Abbigail B.
Meet Super Student Anita D
“One pleasant surprise about taking online classes was how connected I still felt with my teacher and classmates. I expected it to feel distant or isolating, but there were actually lots of opportunities to interact through messages, discussion boards, and feedback.” – Anita D.
