English as a Second Language Services

ESL Tutoring:

The Learning Center offers ESL tutoring for non-native speakers of English. Tutoring is available by appointment or walk-in when available. Tutoring Services Include:

  • One-On-One Academic Support 
  • One-On-One Conversation Practice
  • One-On-One Pronunciation Practice

Conversation Partners:

The Conversation Partner Program brings non-native English speakers together with native English Speakers. The primary goal of the program is for non-native English speakers to use English naturally in everyday situations and learn more about American culture.

The program partners students according to their schedule, and if possible, by shared interests.

Students then decide on one hour a week to get together to have open discussions and to practice English in a relaxed setting.

Conversation Studio Workshops:

This studio is a great way to practice using English more casually (e.g. learn slang and idioms) and more like a native speaker.

It is a great way to become more comfortable in various settings.

The studio meets the first Thursday of every month from 3:00-4:00 in McDonough 105.  No need to register.  Walk-ins are welcome.
