English Language Learners’ Services

To get started, please obtain a PVCC Community borrower card to use PTC services. Our front desk staff can help with how to get this card.

• Beginning ELL Conversation Groups

For persons who speak little to no English, the ELL conversation groups provide beginning English practice to those who wish to learn English. The conversation groups are held four days a week and are free PVCC students and community members. Community members may attend the ELL conversation groups for two semesters. Students may attend as often as they want.

• Writing Center (for students):

Tutors help students taking credit classes at PVCC with grammar, punctuation, transitions, thesis statements, assignments, and other writing tasks for any PVCC class.
