English as a Second Language (ESL) Tutoring Program
The Rice English as a Second Language (ESL) Tutoring Program trains
Rice students, faculty, and staff as tutors and conversational partners to work with university employees and community members.
No foreign language is required and time commitments can be as little as
one hour per week. The ESL Tutoring Program is a great way to meet the Housing and Dining staff at your college and make a difference in their lives. There are opportunities to be a one-on-one tutor or tutor with a group.
To get involved with the ESL Tutoring Program, e-mail Vanessa Morales (vmor726@gmail.com) or Tyler Boyd (tdb2@rice.edu).

This group meets on a weekly basis to allow non-native English speakers a forum to practice their English with native English speakers in a comfortable setting. Members also learn about a variety of cultures and foster the founding of friendships from various backgrounds and departments.
The Community Involvement Center has various ESL books and DVDs for tutors to check out. Also the ESL Resources website has many on-line resources.
