Welcome to Mercy Bridges

Mercy Bridges is a non-profit organization that teaches people how to read and write in the English language. Our English language learners are primarily immigrants and refugees who have resettled in the greater Rochester area from all over the world. In addition, many native-born American citizens who live in Rochester have also reached out to us for help to improve their ability to read and write!

We tutor adults ages 18 and up, one-on-one. Our services are free and all of our tutors are volunteers. We can tutor in approximately 60 languages. Tutors and learners can decide together the best place and time they would like to meet for lessons. We recommend lessons be at least two hours per week.
