 Don
and Dorathy Ketai are a unique if not extraordinary husband-wife
tutoring team. Don, a retired podiatrist, and Dorathy, a former
physician's office manager, devote more than 120 hours a year of precious
retirement time to an effort they consider important.
"You find a sense of accomplishment and self-worth,"
says Don, "I really enjoy the response of my
students and the advances that they're able to make. It's very
heartwarming and I enjoy it a great deal."
The Ketais have tutored and offered guidance to immigrants from many
countries including Japan, China, Poland, Russia and Korea. Dorathy sees
their work as improving international relations. She believes a positive
tutoring experience for learners not only enhances their lives in the
United States but also contributes to good relations between the U.S. and
the learners' homelands.
Not only do Dorathy and Don take on two or three learners at a time, they
also share their generosity and hospitality by hosting a brunch each year
for their learners and their families. This rare opportunity offers an
occasion for fellow learners from other cultures to meet and celebrate
their accomplishments, discuss their ESL learning experiences, and make
new friends who share a common bond. There is just one rule at this brunch
-- only English is spoken.
