Learn English
Do you need help?
Learn English at Home (LEAH) is a charity which has over 100 trained volunteer tutors who help people to learn English language skills in the home or small groups. Our students come from over 30 different countries and speak more than 40 languages. The majority are women with young children.
Anyone who cannot access formal classes and lives in the boroughs of Kingston, Richmond or Hounslow can apply. Here's how it works:
Make a referral
Tell us why you can't go to college: Do you have a baby at home? Do you have health issues? Is your English very low level? Complete this online referral form or call 020 8255 6144.
Learn English
A volunteer will come to your home to teach you English and when you are ready you may come to one of our small group classes, with creche facilities.
Feel more confident
With our help you will learn to telephone the doctor, speak with teachers at school, go to the library, travel on a bus and be more involved in the community.
Move on with your life
When your English is better you can explore other opportunities like going to college, taking the UK citizenship test, volunteering and eventually employment.
