English Lessons: Pre-Beginner Level In-Person
The Family Resource Center is a space for members' families to
connect & make memories too!
Many diverse and international student parents and postdoc parents arrive to campus with spouses/partners, parents, and other adult family members as caregivers. Are you looking for a supportive, collaborative space where they can learn and practice English language skills? The Family Center offers free weekly classes!
Through partnership with the Graduate School of Education's Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Program, the Family Center will host free classes for the adult family members in our Family Center community. Classes are for the adult (ages 18+) family members of student parents and postdoc parents at Penn who are members of the Family Resource Center. Caregivers are welcome to bring in small and quiet toys for children who may accompany them. Children must remain in the room under direct supervision of the caregiving adult, as described in the Family Center Visitor Policy.
