Course Levels

We offer English courses at Pre-Entry Level and Entry Levels 1, 2 and 3

Course Details

Our main courses run term-time for 30 weeks over the academic year (September – July), with 2 classes of 2 hours each week (or 1 class a week where we provide creche).

Students work towards Trinity College London exams in speaking and listening, reading and writing

Crèche Provision

We offer a limited number of crèche places for children aged 6 months to 5 years on the Pre-Entry/Entry 1 course, funded by Southampton City Council.

Regular attendance is very important as places are limited and in high demand.

Course Availability

All our main courses are currently full, so we are not accepting new referrals at this time.

Teaching and Support

All teachers are qualified and experienced ESOL tutors, supported by a team of skilled and dedicated volunteer classroom assistants.

Learning Approach

Our courses provide intensive support to help students build confidence and develop a strong foundation in English for living in the UK. We support students to overcome barriers, and our teaching team has experience and training in teaching students who cannot read or write in their first language. We signpost to other providers when students are ready to progress to ESOL Level 1, other courses or volunteering.

Cost

Thanks to support from Southampton City Council, we are able to keep our fees low. For our 30-week courses, we may ask for a small contribution at the start. We will provide:

  • At least 2 hours per week teaching and pay your exam fees (around £38)
  • A crèche space (if needed and available)
  • Class resources, handouts, notebooks etc.
  • Priority access to other other courses and activities at CLEAR which are free.
