Pre-purchased English Language Tuition (PELT)

You can use your Pre-purchased English Language Tuition (PELT) to enrol in our English for Migrants programme. Learn English one-on-one at home, or wherever you choose, or join a class.

Eligibility

To enrol, you must:

  • be an adult (we cannot teach school students)
  • be in New Zealand
  • have paid Immigration NZ for English lessons before you arrive in New Zealand. This is known as Pre-purchased English Language Tuition (PELT).

Learn one-on-one

Private lessons with a qualified English language teacher are a fantastic way to build confidence and knowledge.

Lessons are usually twice a week.

Learning one-on-one means you can:

  • decide with your teacher where and when to study (including online or at home)
  • go at your own speed
  • choose what you want to study. For example, Kiwi expressions and grammar, or learning the English you need to get your driver’s licence or make an appointment.

Learn in a class

You can choose to spend your PELT on an English class, either online or in a classroom.

When you contact us, we can tell you about the classes available in your area.

Testimonials from our

Learners

Kaimo Jiao

LEARNER

The teacher is exceptional and did not (only) teach us specific knowledge, she taught us how to fish. This kind of style of teaching reformed my previous way of learning English.

Jino George

LEARNER

The course was very useful. The teacher's attitude and inspiration motivated me to learn English. I decided to work hard to improve my language, which is a barrier in the communication. I learnt the importance of stress, intonation and language functions which helped me to improve my pronunciation. I would like to join in her class anytime if I get a chance.😊

I was lucky to get to your Road Code course. Migrants need a driver licence so much, but the language barrier prevents them. Thanks to you, anyone can get a driver's licence easily.

Polina Belenitskaia

LEARNER

If I hadn't taken your Road Code courses, I wouldn't have gotten my driver licence for another million years. After your lessons, it turned out to be very simple, in 10 minutes I got my first driver' licence in my life!
