Important Announcement About ESL Classes

All classes are being held virtually at this time– on Zoom and other apps. We will start in-person classes again as soon as it is safe. If you need assistance setting up your phone or computer, we can help you.

We offer one-on-one tutoring as well as small group classes and informal conversation classes. Our program is led by trained volunteer tutors who are eager to help you. We place our students based on their English speaking ability and availability.

All students must register here.
