English as a Second Language Program (ESL Program)

The English as a second language program at the Esperanza Center is unique because we have flexible class schedules for volunteers and students. Our informal, drop-in sessions offer small-group and one-on-one teaching and our formal courses provide structured, leveled classes by semester. We also have a media lab allowing our clients to learn English through technology.
