Many immigrants want to learn English so that they can build a new life in America. Learning English will help them find better jobs, help their children in school, make American friends, or eventually become a U.S. citizen.
Pui Tak Center's ESL program serves over 900 adults annually, making it one of the largest community-based ESL programs in Illinois. Our program also is among the top performing programs in Illinois with the majority of students showing measurable improvement in English skills after attending our classes.

Six levels of ESL classes from Beginning Literacy all the way to Advanced
