Adult English sessions with Multiply

Multiply’s adult English sessions will teach you the basics of everyday reading and writing skills without reaching for the textbooks. These free, government-funded sessions are taught in small groups in relaxed environments across the county. There are no scary exams or mountains of books to get through – just fun, hands-on activities that flex your English muscles without you even noticing.

Why choose Multiply for English courses?

Our learning sessions are designed for native-level English speakers looking to build their confidence in written and spoken communication. Words are an essential part of our everyday lives, so our classes present English in an engaging, accessible format.

One day we might be totting up points with Scrabble tiles,  the next unravelling the traitors in our whodunit sessions. Our courses teach you the basics of English through relaxed, interactive sessions – not nasty spelling tests.

At the end of your learning, you’ll walk away with increased confidence in the use of written and spoken communication, ready to apply these skills to your everyday. Help the kids with their homework or go further in the workplace. It all comes down to the power of words.
