English Classes for Adults - Advance Your Career

Join our English classes in Aurora to practice speaking, feel more confident, and find new chances for work, school, or everyday life.

Our Classes

If you have a high school diploma and want to improve your English, you're welcome here! NAC accepts U.S. citizens, permanent residents, F-1 and J-1 visa holders, and other visa statuses.

Our program is for adults who want more than basic English — people who want to advance at work, prepare for a U.S. university, or build a future here.

  • You will have 18 hours of class each week.
  • Each level takes 4 months (288 hours) to finish but you sign up for 4 weeks (72 hours) at a time.
  • Classes include small group work, one-on-one help, whole class activities.
  • You will practice grammar, reading and writing, listening and speaking, and other skills.
  • We use fun and active teaching methods.
  • We use both paper and computers—not just textbooks.
  • All classes are in person (we do not offer online classes).
