ESOL Center

                     

 Welcome to the ESOL Center 

    Bentley's ESOL Center offers in-person and online appointments for help with all course writing and English language skills. Our ESOL faculty tutors specialize in working with multilingual undergraduate and graduate students to provide one-on-one support.  You can work with the tutors on papers at any stage in the writing process.  Along with individualized help with your writing, the ESOL tutors can provide feedback and guidance for documenting sources, oral presentation practice, and pronunciation/conversation enrichment.
