Classes during Work Hours
With the rise of COVID-19, we have innovated our delivery of lessons and now teach language in a virtual classroom, using Zoom as a platform. The course is called Improve your English via Zoom, with lessons held once a week.
This programme is designed for complete beginners in English. We use an interactive approach to develop competency in the skills of speaking, listening, and to introduce basic reading and writing for Beginner English.
Students develop confidence in small, relaxed groups. Students attend daily classes (from Monday to Friday) for 60 hours a month. We recommend at least three months. Contact hours are from 8.30am to 12 noon and students are expected to spend a further two to three hours on revision and practice after class each day.
COST: R4 500 for 60 hours per month (3 hours per day)

Recently a teacher requested: “I’m an HOD, I went to an English as Second Language school. My English command is not good and I’m not confident when speaking English. I have many challenges.”
Does this sound like you? It is a plea that we at the KLI hear a lot. And now we want to address it in a new way. Do you have Zoom? (If not, it’s easy to download the application on your computer or smartphone.) Can you join us for a virtual class once a week online? There are admirable people out there teaching children and meeting needs. Yet they themselves feel the need for support and improvement in English.
TIME: Wednesdays, 3–5pm, starting in July.
DURATION: Four months, four lessons per month
COST: All that is required is that you commit to being online once a week and you pay the fee of R800 per month, at the start of each month.
The teacher is qualified to teach correct language structure and usage, and all the skills for addressing groups face to face or in writing.
When you feel confident, you are confident. Skills in language usage in the English setup can be learned and can be passed on.
Space is limited, so advanced booking and payment is essential. Please note that course dates may change as a result.
