Success story

The SPEAK programme has helped me gain confidence in my English conversational skills, enhancing my career prospects in the UK. The best thing about it is everyone’s “can-do” mindset, which means you never get judged even if you make a mistake and the teachers explain everything to you anytime you ask: all this is perfect for an adult learner of English like me. It helps that the other students are adults too because they make sure to prepare for that session’s topic independently at home before the day of the lesson, allowing the sessions to be run without a hitch. One teacher’s words particularly motivated me to continue attending the class: “There is no age limit for learning.”

Recently, I was blessed with an opportunity to make use of my English language skills. I accompanied an elderly English friend in my neighbourhood to the hospital for an X-ray as she had a bad fall while shopping. My English language skills helped me a lot in this situation. Fortunately, it turned out that the injuries were very light, and I was so glad to see the relieved look on her face. I can only attribute my newfound confidence in using English language, which enabled me to help my friend, to this exceptional English language course.
