English done differently

This is English done differently. Creatively crafted and designed to work with everyone as unique individuals, Everyday English aims to take the stress out of daily challenges such as: reading instruction manuals and signage, writing correspondence, understanding information/being media savvy and communicating our thoughts and needs clearly. The primary focus of this course is to build the self-confidence so that students can utilise these essential skills in their everyday lives. 

This class is a re-introduction to studying English, designed specifically for those who might have struggled previously with the subject. Here we will conquer fears and boost self-esteem, enabling our students to reengage with some areas of learning that they might have avoided for some time. We will focus on basic skills-building that will help students to navigate the world independently - from essential communication skills to basic comprehension around instructional writing. Using interactive games and challenges, we will cover these subjects in new digestible ways - proving that learning new skills (even in a subject that students might be less than confident with) can be fun, accessible and affirming. 

This is a class that is designed to improve quality of life, both after the class (in the application of new skills when out in our communities) and during the class - because learning and developing essential communication, comprehension and language skills needn’t be boring or intimidating.  

It is also a whole lot of fun!

Everyday English (higher needs)

This class delivers much of the same content as the English skills classes, but is delivered at a slightly slower pace, with an emphasis on understanding and improved communication. Expect lots of laughter, fun and games, with no stress or pressure and less emphasis on written classwork. Here you’ll improve your essential English skills without feeling any of the pressure of a traditional classroom setting.

Note that all classes can be provided for different levels of need and can accommodate your learners.
