About Learning English Plus

Learning English Plus (LE+) is a specialist online hub for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) tutors, volunteers and providers. LE+ is an extension of Learning English in Yorkshire and the Humber (LEYH), a resource that matches migrant learners of English with suitable local and online English language classes.

We recognise that growth in online learning, alongside growing numbers of learners from differing educational backgrounds, has made it challenging to find ESOL resources quickly.

LE+ was created to provide an up-to-date database dedicated to resources, news, events and training opportunities in the Yorkshire and Humber region. We hope that access to this service will help you locate what you’re looking for quickly and easily.
