Learn English at Home (LEAH) - English lessons

We provide 1:1 and small group English classes for speakers of other languages. 

Our English lessons are free and delivered by trained volunteers either 1:1 or in small group classes. Most of our lessons are offered online.

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.

Eligibility

Residents of Kingston upon Thames, Richmond and Hounslow with low level English language skills who need help to communicate their basic/everyday needs but cannot attend college adult education classes regularly for any of the following reasons:

  • Additional social needs e.g. domestic violence or victims of trafficking.
  • A young child/children at home with additional needs e.g. a disability.
  • Physical or mental health problems.
  • 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.

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

Where appropriate, we will refer people on to a further agency.

Service access criteria: This service is for adults with low levels of English, resident in the boroughs of Kingston, Richmond and Hounslow.
