How to Study Functional English in Southampton When You Work Shifts and Have Children
Busy life? Learn how our morning, evening, and Zoom classes help working parents in Southampton pass their exams.


Accredited Pearson Edexcel & City & Guilds centre. 11-week (£240) and 22-week (£360) courses with morning, evening, and Zoom options.
We know that adult life in Southampton is very busy. You might work 12-hour shifts in a care home, drive a car, work in a restaurant kitchen, or look after three children. You might think: 'I do not have time to go to school.' At BFluent, we made our classes flexible so you never have to give up your job to study.
1. Choose Classroom in St Mary's or Online on Zoom
You do not have to travel to class every day if you are tired. BFluent gives you choices:
- In-Person Classroom: Learn at 132 St Mary Street, near bus stops and central Southampton.
- Online via Zoom: Join your class from home using your mobile phone, tablet, or laptop.
- Blended Learning: Come to class when you can, and join on Zoom when you are working.
2. Day and Evening Timetables
We run morning sessions for parents when the children are at school, and evening sessions for people who work daytime shifts. Our lessons are structured so you can plan your week with zero stress.
3. Homework You Can Do on Your Phone
You do not need big heavy books. Your tutor sends you short reading tasks, vocabulary cards, and sample exam questions by email and WhatsApp. You can practice for 15 minutes while waiting for the Bluestar bus or during your tea break at work.
Fast Track 11-week course is £240. Standard 22-week course is £360. Pay easily by bank transfer with no hidden surprises. Free places available for eligible learners.
