Services If you are a New Zealand resident and would like help to improve your English language skills, we will try to find you a volunteer home tutor. The tutor will come to your home for about an hour every week to help you with the English that you need. We also run Social English Groups to assist new learners to practise their English in a supportive environment. All our services are free to New Zealand residents. Please contact us if you would like help with your English.
Social English Groups We run three Social English Groups. On Tuesday afternoons from 1.30 - 3.00pm at our office at 2 Bridge Street, Tuesday evenings, from 7-8.30pm at 23A Salisbury Road, Richmond and a third, in Motueka on Sunday afternoons from 3 - 4.30pm.
