About the Directory

This directory aims to provide guidance to individuals wanting to learn

or improve their English language skills.

The St George and Sutherland Shire areas cater for beginner to

advanced English language learners with a variety of locations, times,

and study options.

With colleges and community centres as well as online courses,

anyone can begin or continue to improve their English language skills

for leisure, education, or employment.
