Learn English with us
Our team will start by talking with you to understand your needs, skills, circumstances and goals. Together you will make a plan to help you achieve your goals.
Our tutors aim to create a supportive environment, taking into account the history and culture of all students.
Much of the learning will take place in a classroom environment, however you will also enjoy learning through outings to places in your local community. This might include visits to your local library, museums, art displays, grocery stores, zoo and historical sites.
Along with teaching English, our courses will teach you other skills for settling into Australian life. For example, how to access government and community services, banking, medical assistance and emergency services.
Your next steps
Once you have completed the AMEP your tutors will work with you to plan your next steps. They will work with you to help you understand your options and make decisions about your future.
Further English tuition, training towards a qualification or moving into work may be for you. In any case, our team will be there to help.
In the AMEP, you will not only learn English but you will also enjoy a family-like support network.
This sense of community and the friendships you make are also things you can take into the next stage of your new life in Australia.

We are dedicated to learning about local Indigenous People and culture, to sharing what we learn, and to listening and respecting Indigenous voices. We pay our respects to them, their elders and their cultures.
