Become a Learner:

Would you or someone you know like to improve their English language skills?

The library system offers an ESL (English as a Second Language) program that can help.
Learners are paired one-on-one with trained tutors who help learners reach their goals. Our learners' goals can be personal or professional, such as gaining language skills related to their job or the ability to communicate with their children’s teachers. English language skills are essential to everyday life, and the library system wants to help learners succeed and better themselves.

¿Usted o alguien que conoce necesita mejorar sus conocimientos del inglés?

El sistema de bibliotecas de St. Petersburg ofrece un programa de ESL (Inglés como Segunda Lengua) que lo puede ayudar.

A cada estudiante se le asigna un tutor que lo ayuda individualmente a mejorar sus habilidades para conversar en  inglés. Los objetivos del estudiante pueden ser personales o profesionales, por ejemplo aprender el vocabulario pertinente a su profesión o  comunicar con los profesores de sus hijos. El conocimiento del inglés es esencial  para la vida cotidiana y nosotros queremos ayudar a quien lo necesite a tener  éxito en la vida.
