English Language Learning

Learning English is hard, but we're here to help—for free.
When you sign up for our English Language Learning (ELL) sessions, we match you with a volunteer tutor who can help you practice your conversation skills and learn about the local community.
Once a week, you'll meet your tutor or tutors for an informal 1-on-1 or small group session that usually lasts 2 hours. The times and locations are listed below.
Where and when
Registration is closed for the summer.
Please check back for new Fall 2026 sessions.
