English Language Learning (ELL)

A welcoming community for English instruction

Mercy Connections provides a variety of opportunities for adults seeking to learn English language learning (ELL).


A Safe Learning Environment

A prerequisite for learning is safety. Former refugees and asylum-seekers often have experienced war, trauma, and long difficult journeys. Along with English language acquisition, many of our ELL students are working toward economic independence, stable housing and transportation, and access to other resources. Tutors, teachers, and staff at Mercy Connections are committed to offering kindness and respect for all who come for services.

“You can give me a million dollars and I will spend it all. But advice and knowledge is something I can keep for my entire life.”
