All applicants are interviewed before acceptance on to the course.

Social English Groups
We have eight SEGs.
We have two on Mondays, one on Tuesdays, one on Wednesdays and four on Fridays during primary school terms. Classes are from 9.30am till 11.30am
Literacy classes
We run four four classes in partnership with Christchurch Resettlement Services. These classes are for learners who are preliterate in their first language.
All learners must be registered with the scheme to have their names on the waiting list. Learners need to visit our office to register.
There are still calendars available for the low price of $10, plus $1.50 postage and handling. This 2010 calendar contains stunning photos by professional photographer Stefan Furuskär. It was produced to celebrate 30 years home tutoring in Christchurch.
