FREE ESOL COURSES
English is essential for migrants to settle down, live, work and eventually contribute to the new community they are now part of. At New Citizens’ Gateway we offer 4 types of ESOL courses ranging from Pre-Entry to Intermediate. (See list below) Qualified ESOL teachers help students to gain the necessary basic skills and confidence in spoken English as well as improving their writing, listening and reading skills using the Skills for Life coursework as well as teachers’ own material. All these classes are free.
