English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

Learners often come to us with a high level of education in their native country and limited English language skills.

Some are immigrants and refugees. Others are here as visitors, often while a spouse is on a temporary assignment or attending or teaching at a university. They need help with spoken English, reading and writing, and often with navigating our culture. A goal might be to become a citizen.

Tutors do not need knowledge of a foreign language.

For an impression from one tutor, please watch the above video; click the triangle near the lower-left corner to start. LVR tutor Ruby Williams says she expects her learner to come prepared, to complete homework assignments, to arrive at tutoring appointments on time, and to show respect.
