Last updated on September 5, 2008

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) assist people in learning to speak English as their second language. The training takes place over a four week period with one follow up session. After the training a tutor is assigned a group of four students at a mutually convenient time for everyone. There is wait list of students in need of tutors! THE TRAINING IS FREE; HOWEVER, THERE IS A $30 REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT FEE FOR THE MATERIALS. THE DEPOSIT WILL BE REFUNDED AT THE END OF THE COURSE.
