English Language Programs for Ukrainian Adults in the U.S.
Two way – two approaches. One mission: support.
At AURA, we believe that language is the first step to confidence, connection, and independence. We offer two English programs for Ukrainian adults — depending on they current level and learning needs.
What we provide
BEGINNER English Program
Start with us you English journey - completely free
At AURA, we believe that every person deserves access to language education — not only to adapt, but to express themselves, build connections, and take part in their new community with confidence and dignity.
This program provides urgent language assistance! FREE online English as a Second Language (ESL) course for adult refugees from Ukraine. Students in the intensive program gain critical knowledge, thereby accelerating the path of adaptation, bringing them closer to successful employment, social and economic stability in an English-speaking country
The LAURA program launched its official work in March 2023. It implies the possibility of free language education for Ukrainian citizens who arrived in the United States from the beginning of the full-scale invasion (from February 2022).Each enrolled student has the right to receive English training in accordance with the LAURA program for 1 calendar year from the date of enrollment in the program.
This program is an intensive educational project. Our students have online lessons 3 times a week, lasting 2 hours.
The goal of this program is to provide the necessary knowledge in English so that each student can find a job, be able to read and write in English in order to understand the social, legal and economic orders of the country, follow the social and tax system of the state. Our program helps to get the missing knowledge in the language, those who are motivated to develop and be a full-fledged member of society in the USA.
Who are our students?
LAURA students are highly motivated adults, breadwinners of their families. They have received secondary and higher education in Ukraine. Many of them are certified specialists with bachelor's or master's degrees in various specializations, with 6+ years of work experience.
The dominant weak point is the low level of English, which we are trying to help with through the LAURA program.
Having lost a lot in their lives, at this stage their main goal is to quickly gain a financial and social foundation in a new society in accordance with local laws and regulations.
