ESL & Citizenship
We offer free English classes for immigrants and refugees in a classroom setting led by passionate teachers and volunteers! On an as-needed basis, we also offer free one-on-one citizenship studying and teaching. These are for clients with a higher English proficiency.
In addition to English learning, clients also have the opportunity to ask for help with employment, housing, education, health, and any other needs!
Surpassing Language Barriers
English teaching volunteers are trained prior to teaching with staff on site if any extra help is needed. English classes are divided into six small groups based on English level. Students are not required to sign up! They can walk in, take a test to match them with their English level assigned group, and begin learning. Students will be added to a WhatsApp group to stay updated.
We recognize that two or three times a week isn’t a sufficient enough time to learn a new language, therefore, we provide one-on-one tutoring for clients that ask for additional English lessons.
Citizenship studies are taught by volunteers who are experienced in the citizenship process. These volunteers are not only teachers, but also aim to encourage confidence in our clients to make a big challenge feel all the more achievable.
