Tamana
Tamana enrolled on an English course to improve her language skills, employment chances and to be more active in the community. She is from is from Afghanistan and has two small children. Sometimes in her culture, women are not encouraged to work. Tamana realised that this was something that she wanted to do and last year after listening to another learner in the class talking about the benefits of volunteering, she decided to get herself a volunteering role in a nursery and when she felt more confident. This led to Tamana signing up with the Teaching Agency and is now working part time, as well as working towards her Level 1 reading.
Congratulations Tamana on your outstanding achievement.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth joined a Creative Writing course with KAE after her colleagues gifted the course to her when she retired as an NHS secretary. The course helped her learn to write creatively after years of writing what other people dictated to her. After putting in many hours in and outside class, she was able to fulfil her dreams of publishing her debut novel, 'Those Restless Souls'. Elizabeth is still enjoying attending our Creative Writing courses.
Congratulations to Elizabeth on publishing your first book.
Janet
Janet joined our Beginners Plus French language course to gain confidence to converse in French and to keep her mind active. Throughout the course her confidence increased, and she is now fluent with constructing phrases and questions. Despite personal struggles, and at times a lack of confidence in herself, Janet has persisted with French and feels ready to enrol on to an Intermediate course with KAE.
Congratulations to Janet on your well-deserved success.
John
John enrolled on an Italian language course with KAE to learn the language as he has a house in Venice and often goes to Italy on holiday. John has a hearing impairment and despite the challenges he faces he puts in extra work in class and arranged a study group with his peers where they support each other with course homework and progression. He is very outgoing and enjoys going out for meals with the whole class and is now studying in his fourth year with Kent Adult Education.
Congratulations to John on your inspiring achievement.
