Learn English At Home
LEAH (Learn English at Home) is a charity that offers English classes in London to help asylum seekers, refugees and migrants who live in Kingston, Merton, Hounslow, and Richmond to improve their English language skills.
We offer lessons for people who are unable to get to formal college classes due to their personal or family situation, for health reasons or because of their very low English skills.
Classes in Merton
We have recently taken over Learn English Together in Merton to help more people to learn English in London. Any learners or volunteers interested in lessons or volunteering in Merton should visit the LETIM website.

Referrals

Teach English as a Volunteer
You could help make a positive difference to the lives of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. If you can spare one hour a week to support a learner, we’d be delighted to train you to be a volunteer tutor.
