About

When: Saturdays/Sunday, 10 - 11:30 AM Where: Online (as of now) PBHA’s Chinatown ESL program makes affordable ESL learning services available to adults in the Chinatown area, and other Great Boston Chinese-American residents. Volunteers tutor adults in 90 minute sessions on the English language. Lessons focus on developing practical conversational, reading, and writing skills useful for everyday situations. By providing these services, PBHA helps to alleviate the social isolation that many immigrant adults feel when moving to a country where their language is not spoken, and provides new opportunities for them without the financial burden these services typically bring.
