ESL Classes are aimed for anyone who needs to practice and improve their English. Our classes are aimed for those who cannot attend Memorial University’s ESL Classes due to economical reasons or too low level of English to apply or ANC’s ESL program because they don’t have refugee status.
No registration is required and the classes are free
We do take donations to help us buy markers, notebooks and new textbooks
For the conversation partner program, students are partnered with a conversation partner. We partner people according to Gender, Age and other personal preferences.
This is a one on one form to help students with communication and specific needs they have to improve their English
