FREE CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH CLASSES

ABOUT US

A Community That Cares
At SMILE, we believe learning English is about more than just words - it’s about building friendship, community and belonging.

We are a team of volunteers from churches in Melbourne who care deeply about welcoming newcomers with open arms. Every lesson is an opportunity to learn, connect and grow together.

We understand that starting fresh in a new country can be hard, which is why we’re committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you can learn at your own pace with people who truly care.

All are welcome to join!
