Connect with an ELT

English Language Tutors (ELTs) are Learning Centre professionals who can help you identify and improve English language reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills so that you can succeed in the Douglas College courses you are currently taking.

You can get support and feedback from an English Language Tutor in two ways:

REAL-TIME
English Language Tutors can meet with you in-person for 25/55-minute sessions in-person at the New Westminster or Coquitlam campus or via Zoom.  They can also reserve ongoing sessions for you for a few weeks at a time to work together on specific assignments and skills. 

SUBMIT A DRAFT
Upload your writing assignments, and an English Language Tutor will respond with questions, feedback and resources to improve your writing. 

English Language Tutors also facilitate Learning Centre workshops to focus on academic strategies and language learning.
