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 to work with students one-on-one. Students can get help with their grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking, or any English skill necessary for their classes.

The ELRC offers online video appointments via Zoom. For appointments and instructions visit the Student Success Hub.

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

How can I get help?

• MCPHS students studying in Boston, Worcester, Manchester, or online can sign up for free, online tutoring at the Student Success Hub by selecting "Offices & Services" and then "ULN-English Language Resource Center (ELRC)" from the drop-down menu.
• For any other questions, contact Dr. Sunnia Ko Davis, Director of the English Language Resource Center at sunniako.davis@mcphs.edu.

How can I strengthen my English by myself?

• How to Recognize Plagiarism – Learn what plagiarism is (a form of academic dishonesty) and how to properly quote, paraphrase, and summarize to avoid it
• Just the Word – Learn how to use words correctly (collocations)
• Self-Study Grammar Quizzes – Review your understanding of English grammar
