We offer lessons for people who are not able to get to formal college classes, because of cost, family situation or disability and who may become isolated at home.
Our classes are held mostly at Vestry Hall in Mitcham. We also run classes at Canons House in Mitcham, local schools and the YMCA Wimbledon.
We offer creche facilities for some of our classes.

Elementary Level
Conversation classes at LEAH cover reading, writing and speaking but in a more conversational way than the formal classes.
Classes are suitable for the level of the learners in the class. They are run by volunteers who are training and experienced in English language teaching. The main goal is to improve and practice English speaking and gain confidence in a range of topics.
Our Crèche
Our Sessional Crèche is led by Lizzie McCarthy. Lizzie is an experienced childcare practitioner. She has a Level 3 Childcare qualification, and three other qualified sessional crèche staff.
