School English skills in Harborne
Explore Learning Harborne offers school English tuition for children aged 4 to 16 at its High Street centre and online. The centre describes English work in reading, writing, grammar and comprehension, and lists SATs support. Its separate GCSE pathway is GCSE maths; the Harborne page does not list GCSE English tuition. In-centre groups have a tutor supporting up to six children on individualised work, while online tuition is one-to-one. To decide what help to ask for, bring a recent reading question or a short piece of writing and name the difficulty: finding evidence in a text, explaining an inference, organising sentences, or checking grammar and punctuation. Ask how practice will connect to the learner's year group and school work.
Start with the right adult ESOL level
BAES describes Entry 2 ESOL for adults aged 19 and over who speak another language. No previous qualification is needed for that course; BAES assesses learners and places them in a suitable class. Its aims cover reading, writing, speaking and listening, so note what you most want to practise.
Use library materials between classes
The Library of Birmingham lists graded readers with audio and materials for IELTS, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, business and vocational English. These are study resources, not a taught class. Pair a reader or audio exercise with a speaking goal and bring it to a lesson.
