Mrs. Borto teaches my children English every day. They say that she is very kind, and her teaching style is easy to understand. Before, my children couldn’t speak, understand, or read English at all. However, they are now improving little by little, and most importantly, they find studying English fun. We are very appreciative of her kindness and excellent support. We love Mrs. Borto very much, and we are truly grateful for the positive changes she has made in our children’s lives.

Mrs Borto is very kind and passionate teacher. My daughter had her in Kindergarten and Grade 1,with Mrs Borto’s help Tanishi became very confident in English language, both in communication and reading,writing. Mrs Borto has her way to make the classroom so much fun that the kids enjoys learning the language. Tanishi still misses Mrs Borto’s class. She definitely deserves the Life changer” award.Really grateful to Mrs. Borto.

My son went to the school where Mrs. Borto teaches and I was volunteering at an assembly. I was talking with another parent about soccer as I am a soccer coach for the local Hillsborough NJ Recreation Dept. She approached me after the conversation was over and introduced herself and we started talking about soccer as well. She mentioned that her son was a professional soccer player that was currently playing in Europe. At the end of the conversation, she said that her son would be coming home soon and that she could have him come speak with my team. About 1 month later, Mrs. Borto and her son showed up and watched our team play. After the game, her son spoke to our team, answered questions and signed autographs for the team. The children loved it and were amazed by seeing him with one of their teachers. This shows how Mrs. Borto is truly a great person and gives back to the community in anyway possible, as I had never met her before that day and she made such a difference for the children on my team.
