Someone suggested we should mention a course you can take at Rayleigh Library called “Learn My Way”. It’s run over 6 weeks, on a Monday and a Wednesday at Rayleigh Library ( We think it also runs at other libraries but don’t have any details )
Starts at 9.30am, runs until 11.00am and is ideal for complete beginners, no previous experience necessary.

The course can be done at home but of course, you will not have a tutor to guide you through. The course if free, you just need to be a member of the Library.
