Our Mission:

Bridges ESL provides free English language lessons to individuals in the Yale and New Haven community who want or need to improve their communication skills and bridge their language gap. These individuals will acquire the English skills needed to be effective in the family, the workplace, and the community — building bridges for their own future.

Millions of immigrants arrive in the United States lacking fluent English language skills. They need English proficiency to pursue employment, obtain a higher education, obtain citizenship, and/or to interact with others in their daily lives. Bridges ESL helps its students to develop confidence in carrying out interactions in English and provides them with tools that will help them become more involved in their new home in this country.

Our Activities:

Weekly Tutoring Classes – English Tutor/Tutee Bonding Events for students in the New Haven area and beyond on a weekly basis.

Aside from weekly classes, we sometimes hold study sessions or other opportunities to meet each other to boost morale. This occurs when tutor or tutee turnout may be low or we feel there could be more engagement in the club. This also presents an opportunity for those tutoring or being tutored online to come to a physical space and meet others.
