We provide 1:1 and small group English classes for speakers of other languages. Some of our lessons are delivered online, some in our learners' homes and some in community spaces (e.g. libraries).

What is this service?

Our English lessons are free and delivered by trained volunteers.

Referrals

We accept referrals from health and social care professionals, government and educational organisations, and other charities.

We are currently unable to accept referrals from family members or friends or self-referrals.

Referrals are prioritised according to need.

If you want to refer someone for English one to one or group support, please do so through our online referral form.

Eligibility

To be eligible, the individual needs to:

  • be a resident of either Kingston upon Thames, Richmond, Hounslow or Merton boroughs

  • have low level English language skills and need help to communicate their basic or everyday needs

  • be someone who is unable to attend adult education classes regularly for any of the following reasons

    • They have additional social needs e.g. domestic violence or victims of trafficking.

    • They have a young child/children at home with additional needs e.g. a disability.

    • They have physical or mental health problems.

    • They are carers who cannot leave home because of their caring duties.

Clients who have pre-school aged children and no additional needs can be referred but will be a low priority and so may have to wait longer.

Whilst we make every effort to find a suitable tutor as soon as possible, there is a waiting list.

Where appropriate, we will refer people onto a further agency.
