How our English classes are taught

Our classes are taught by our team of friendly and dedicated English language teachers.

ESOL teaching at the Welcoming

All of our teachers are qualified to teach ESOL (English as a Second or Other Language) and many have years of experience teaching English all over the world. All of our teachers are also volunteers, freely giving their time and expertise to help people who are new to Edinburgh.

The focus at The Welcoming is on English for everyday living and we aim to help you develop the skills and confidence to enjoy speaking in English so that you can make the most of the opportunities available to you in Edinburgh and Scotland.

Our classes are available all year round, stopping only for the public holidays at Christmas, Easter weekend and May Day.

Everyone is welcome, though occasionally we may have to limit class numbers due to the limitations of holding a class on Zoom.

If you are interested in volunteering as an English language teacher, check out our ESOL volunteers page for updates on volunteering opportunities.
