"I have been studying English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) at Bedford College since 2006. When I originally moved from Poland I had no experience of the English language and so learning the language was a top priority for me.

"As class sizes are small, tutors are able to dedicate more time to individual students and this has been of great benefit to me. I also find that with smaller classes there is more interaction between students, so we learn from each other as well as being taught the language. I have also had the same tutor from when I first started learning English through to now which has been really helpful to my development.

"I am planning to continue developing my English skills to enable me to further integrate with my English friends."
