Many newcomers to Canada face obstacles to learning English including cost, distance, time, self-doubt, and access to resources.

What happens once I sign-up?

You will get contacted by a teacher in your area confirming the class and level you signed up for. They will then enroll you in a class.

Is the English course actually free?

Yes, it is. Anyone can attend our classes for FREE, in-person or virtually. All course materials are provided for free electronically. Optional student booklets at $5 each.

What should I expect In the course?

We help learners develop English skills in an environment of fellowship and faith. We are working hard to have several in-person classes around Southern Alberta in the future. Class duration is an hour and a half

Who are the course teachers?

We are members and missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! What is a Missionary? We are 18-21 year old volunteers for our church! We take 1.5-2 years of our life to leave home and serve those around us!

Do I have to be a member of the church to enroll?

No! We welcome all faiths and backgrounds to join the ESL classes. All students are welcome to leave before we start our gospel message at the end of class.

Are all the Teachers Native or Very Fluent English Speakers?

Yes. Most of us are from Canada or the United States. Some teachers speak Spanish, Tagalog, and Chinese.

Is there any Course Certificate I receive Upon Completion?

All of our EnglishConnect classes are conversation classes. There are no certificates offered.

What if I can't make it to my online or in person class?

Because we have very big wait lists of people wanting to enroll, we ask that all students inform their teacher if they cannot make it to a class. If you miss 4 classes a month without notifying your teacher, you will unfortunately lose your seat which will be given to someone on the wait list. You would have to re-enroll in order to continue classes.
