English classes free for Ukrainian Nationals
NorthBirmingham4Ukraine (NB4U) has provided English classes on Monday mornings since May of 2022 with an aim to teach and improve the English of Ukrainian arrivals in North Birmingham. Our group has grown from one small group to three groups of differing ability as our students arrive and progress. We cater for students from very beginners to conversational level. We draw on the experience of 5 qualified teachers, 3 of whom are qualified ESOL teachers.
We also aim to provide a secure learning environment with a focus on making learning fun and appropriate to everyday life in the UK. As yet, we do not aim to provide examinations, rather, we feed students into recognized college courses as they become available, but we are open to further development if funding allows. We also have a Ukrainian guest, who is a qualified English teacher. He supports our beginner’s group and speaks Ukrainian and Russian in addition to English and Spanish. Additionally, we have a British national on our team who speaks Russian and has visited Ukraine many times since the 1980s; he is, therefor, uniquely placed to help our learners.
