English Language Resource Center

The English Language Resource Center (ELRC) serves English Language Learner (ELL) or multilingual (ESL) students who wish to strengthen their English skills to study more effectively at MCPHS. ESL faculty members are available on all three campuses to work with students one-on-one or in groups. Students can get help with their grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking, or any English skill necessary for their classes.

The ELRC is offering online video appointments via Microsoft Teams. For appointments and instructions visit WCOnline.

All appointment times are Eastern Time (Boston, MA).

If you have difficulty finding an available appointment, please sign up for the waitlist (link on the lower right side of each day's schedule).
