The University of South Alabama has opened an ESL tutoring program consisting of two tracks: Professional and Basic. The Professional track is taught by ESOL professionals with advanced degrees and extensive experience in ESOL while the Basic track is taught by undergraduate and graduate students earning their TEFL/TESL Certificate.

The program is designed for non-native English speakers who want to improve their skills, resulting in more ease and effectiveness in communication. A variety of courses are offered to address differing needs or goals.

Courses are available for individuals or small groups. Individual tutoring content varies according to the needs of the student. Small group courses are offered in basic writing, conversational skills, vocabulary enrichment, reading comprehension, academic writing, medical or business English, TOEFL preparation and accent control/pronunciation.
