The Conversational English (CE) program provides a comfortable, small group environment for students to work on English communication skills, learn more about other cultures, and make new friends on campus. Tutoring groups typically pair 5-8 students with one tutor who meet weekly for 1-2 hours. Conversational English is open to UW-Madison students only.
