English Courses in Singapore for Adults

Our classrooms are at International Plaza on Anson Road, two minutes from Tanjong Pagar MRT. Students come to us from more than twenty countries. Some have just arrived in Singapore and want to stop feeling lost in everyday conversations. Some have worked here for years and still dread speaking up in meetings. Most sit somewhere between the two.

We run nine English courses across six levels, from complete beginner upward. Some run in the morning, some in the evening, some five days a week, and some are one to one at whatever hour suits you. The differences between them matter more than the names suggest, which is why this page compares them side by side rather than asking you to open nine tabs.

If you are not sure where you fit, take the free placement test. It takes about thirty minutes, there is no obligation, and you will leave knowing your level and which course suits you. We will tell you honestly, including when the honest answer is a shorter or cheaper course than the one you asked about.

If you are working, traveling or planning to live in an English-speaking environment, communication may be tough if English isn’t your first language. It is a problem that’s hard to avoid, especially since English is one of the official languages of Singapore.

Taking up English courses will help you become more proficient at the language and communicate effectively with peace of mind.

Whether it is to enjoy more job opportunities both locally and globally or just to feel comfortable when speaking to your neighbours in Singapore, here are some reasons why many people are signing up for SLI English courses in Singapore to learn the language:

In order to stay current in the workforce, it is crucial to continuously learn new skills. By overcoming this language barrier, you are also opening up more job opportunities for yourself. Taking up basic English courses is a good start in making you more marketable in Singapore’s job market, more so if you become confident in speaking the language fluently.

Whether it is with schoolmates, teachers, friends, colleagues or clients, you would want to improve your standard of communication with them. There are some courses that will specifically help you with your learning needs, such as Conversational English or Business English for career success.
