English Classes

also known as Options Classes

We provide FREE-OF-CHARGE English classes to our community to assist people to overcome language barriers. This program is conducted by experienced and qualified volunteer English teachers.

The class as are conducted in a friendly and supportive learning environment, and designed in such a way as to allow students to gain some “daily life” interaction skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Students are free from the pressures of assessment tests.
