ESOL Courses in Auckland
English Language Courses
Join other former refugees and recent migrants on one of our English Language courses in Onehunga or Henderson, Auckland.
Study English to build your confidence as you practice listening, reading, writing and speaking in small groups.
From Pre and Low Beginners to Pre Intermediate, there is an ESOL course for everyone.
The purpose of our English Language School is to provide you with the English Language and the Life Skills needed to prepare you for work or enrolling in the next course you need to get the work you want.
Our free English speaking courses are for former refugees and recent migrants from all over the world, as well as English as a second language (ESOL) speakers who may be NZ Citizens & NZ Permanent Residents from the Pacific Islands or further abroad.
You will get the support of highly skilled, creative teachers who are passionate about your learning and about helping you become more connected with your community and the other adult students.
Study in comfort, on our English courses in Auckland in locations handy to train and bus stations, or make use of the free parking (as available).
We have 2 locations, one in Onehunga, Auckland and one in Henderson, West Auckland. Our experienced tutors run all classes in small groups with a lot of chances to practice, English with them and the other students.
Our classes are based on meeting your needs, and the lessons cater to student interests and level of understanding.
Classes are run to allow our students to drop off and pick up their children from school. We study in the same weeks as primary and secondary school terms and have study breaks during school term breaks.
Our English speaking courses teach what you need to know to help you and your family, live and work in Aoteroa, New Zealand.
Whether you are looking to be confident in speaking English for everyday life, or needing to improve your English to prepare you for work or higher studies, we would love to talk with you about how our English Language courses will help you.
