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.
