Sarah-Jane Russell

“I previously studied the Level 2 and then the Level 3 Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools, followed by the Foundation Degree in Learning Support.

I wanted to take on the challenge of achieving these qualifications to support my family and to further my career, and have found that the course fits in really well with my family life. My tutor is the best teacher I have had in all my years of learning. I am really happy at the College and find the environment really supportive, I chose to study here due to the good reputation I had heard from others and it exceeded my expectations. I also have extra needs and have found that the library staff are empathetic and brilliant in relation to this.

I have been studying a diverse range of subjects at the College and can now bring so much knowledge to the workplace because of this. Presentations, group work and lone working have all contributed to my new-found confidence and I have acquired a range of different skills throughout the course.

I am looking forward to furthering my career with the knowledge I have gained from the course and want to continue learning and developing myself. I believe the College is an excellent place to do this.”
