One-on-one Tutoring

Whether you're working on class assignments, want to improve your grammar, or just need help understanding something, one-on-one tutoring gives you personal support at your own pace. These sessions are open to students at any English level.  

One-on-one tutoring is especially valuable for English Language Learners. Tutors can help you build reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. They can also help you understand your course materials or assignments written in English. Sessions are tailored to your goals, whether you're working on pronunciation, learning academic vocabulary, or just want more confidence in your English communication. 

You can choose to meet with a tutor either virtually or in person. To guarantee a session, we recommend making an appointment. It’s helpful for the tutor if you include what you’d like to work on in the appointment questionnaire—but if you’re not sure, that’s okay! You are also welcome to drop in—if someone is available, we’ll be happy to help!
