Description
If you find reading and writing in English difficult, or you've lost confidence using English, this gentle starter course is a chance to begin again in a friendly, relaxed group. The course is designed for adults who grew up speaking English but didn't get the support they needed at school or haven't used their reading and writing skills for a long time.
With support from your tutor and fellow learners, you will build confidence step-by-step through simple, practical tasks. We will work on everyday reading, clear sentence writing, spelling, and understanding short texts you may see in day-to-day life. Everything is explained clearly, with lots of encouragement and no pressure.
This course is about helping you feel more confident, capable and ready for your next chapter.
