www.joneslibrary.org/258/Conversation-Circles
The Jones Library finds volunteers from the local community to help international visitors practice English conversation. They are native English speakers (but not professional teachers) and they meet with students once or twice a week, for about an hour, for one-to-one conversation at the library or in another location that is convenient for both. Conversation practice can be scheduled in the morning, afternoon, or evening, any day of the week (including weekends, if that works best for you.)
If you want a one-to-one tutor, you can apply here: www.joneslibrary.org/542/One-to-one-Tutors
