Why Online ESOL?
Many people feel that refugee and migrant English language learners need to be in physical classrooms so they can meet others and build social connections.

Many still believe refugee and migrant learners must attend in-person English classes to build social connections. But this overlooks so many learners who:
✅ Can’t leave home due to childcare, health, or cultural reasons
✅ Work shifts that don’t allow fixed schedules
✅ Live far from colleges or centres running ESOL classes
✅ Need specialist courses like OET/IELTS, English for Care, or practical language for housing, work, or driving
They’re flexible, accessible, and inclusive—connecting learners across regions, taught by expert teachers no matter where they’re based. And yes, they’re also social, interactive, and engaging.
