Braille Tuition

The loss of sight can have a major impact on a person’s life, on their ability to carry out everyday tasks and to access information. Braille training is provided for all levels of ability. Our Braille classes are taught one to one at our Head Office in Stanmore.
Our Braille classes are taught to adults of all ages, young or old. if you’re interested in learning Standard English Braille, please contact our head office on 020 8423 5141 for further details.

“I know that one day I will lose my sight completely, and that is why I am doing this course. I want to be prepared and ready for that day. Maggie is so much more than a tutor to me, she treats me like a friend. I am so pleased to be able to study Braille.” Ashwin
