Student Voice - Olga

Olga enrolled on an ESOL and functional skills course after moving to the UK from Ukraine.

She said, “The course has given me a lot of information and has prepared me for the exams. We have had a lot of practice. The tutors are very helpful and can speak in my native language which has helped me to understand sentence structure and grammar. I completed some online courses before but the face-to-face teaching at North Lindsey College has helped more, as the tutors are always there to ask. I hope the course will help me to get a better job.” – ESOL – Olga Makukh
