English Courses (ESOL & EFL)

English Language courses (ESOL and EFL) for confidence, qualifications, and community  

Improve your English for daily life, work, studies or university with our flexible ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classes. Designed for adults whose first language isn’t English, our ESOL and EFL courses help you develop speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and pronunciation skills – and provide opportunities for recognised qualifications like Cambridge and IELTS.

To apply, click on the course you want and select “Apply.” Once we receive your application, we will invite you to an interview to check your English level and make sure the course is right for you. We will then do our best to offer you a place on a suitable course.

Classes are available in a welcoming and supportive learning environment at our Parkshot campus in the heart of Richmond and local community venues.

Professional Facilities

Learn in light, well-equipped language classrooms suited for group discussions, digital learning and tutor-led activities.

Expert Tutors

Our ESOL teachers specialise in adult learning and will help you grow in confidence and fluency at your own pace. They offer clear, structured lessons in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and real-world English. Students are placed at the right level through assessment sessions before starting.

Flexible Learning

Courses are available during daytime, evenings, weekends and some online delivery. Some of our courses are offered free or at a reduced-fee depending on your eligibility.

A Wide Variety of Courses to Suit You

Choose from a wide variety of English courses:
ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), is ideal if English is not your first language and you want to improve speaking, reading, and writing for everyday life.
