ESOL - English Classes for Speakers of Other Languages

Introduction to ESOL classes

There are 4 classes per week.  Some classes are for beginners, others for improvers. 
New students start by taking a short assessment and chat with the tutor who will then decide on the student's level of English and which class is suitable for them.
To arrange for this short assessment, please contact us, preferably by email to : esol@farehamaction.org.uk 
                                                                                                      or phone Sarah on : 07861 758644
