[ad_1] Learners are welcome to come to St. Aidan’s Church Community Hall (Elford Place West, off Roundhay Road) on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 10-11:30am to do registration. This involves a short test to check their level, which takes around 30 minutes. If we have a place in a suitable class, learners can start class immediately. If not, they will have to join the waiting list. Registration can be done at any time during term and the only restriction is that learners must be18+ years old. We have classes from Pre-Entry (which would be suitable for someone with practically no English) to Intermediate level and we also offer a limited number of online 1:1 lessons, which can be an option for learners who are unable to join a class. Classes are free with sessions every Tuesday and Thursday from 10am-12pm during ‘term time’. We also have a free creche for learners’ children, but they must be aged between 1-4 years old.  For more information visit Harehills English Language Project | Harehills English Language Project (help-esol.org.uk)   [ad_2] Source link
