English Language Resource Center

If you are a student at Bergen Community College and English is not your native language, you can come here for help with grammar, reading, writing, and speech. We are open when classes are in session, and our services are free.

You can get face to face tutoring, online or on campus. You can come to C-212, call 201-612-5292, or make an appointment online. Click here for instructions.
