What our students say

I joined KLEAR to enhance my vocabulary and help me with my writing and spelling.  Initially I came to take on the Junior Cert English and also fill the void of boredom from being unemployed. Taking the Junior Cert English may also in the end enable me to get a job at the end. Hopefully it will.

I came to help my writing skills, something I’ve always wanted to do because I left school early. It was a chance to meet new people.  The groups are small so I feel really comfortable. Since I started to come to KLEAR I feel more confident about filling in forms, writing letters of complaint, expressing myself more clearly.  It’s something I look forward to coming to every week.

I came back to KLEAR college to do basic computers.  I felt the computer world had completely passed me by and I needed to catch up to make my life easier in this computerised world.

When I retired I needed something to fill up my time.  Also I wanted a challenge and decided to set myself a goal.

When it was time for me to finish up work, I had a lot of free time on my hands. A friend of mine who was in KLEAR suggested I might like to try a course. As I had left school very early, it was something I had always wanted to do.  Returning to education has brought new challenges to me. I have many new friends and my goal now is to get my Leaving Cert. English, something I hope to do well in, thanks to KLEAR.

It was the best decision I made to come and meet new people and I have learned so much on the different courses I have taken. The teachers are so caring and nothing is too much for them. 

I’m going back to education because I need to improve my ability to understand and speak English.  With all things that I have to do at home, there is no chance to learn anything. It’s good to have the crèche where to leave the toddler.  It’s good for her to socialise there with the other children and good for me to mix with Irish people.

I am taking this opportunity to polish my English. I have a difficulty with spelling and accent because my native language is French.  I also find it hard to pronounce words in English. I have joined KLEAR beginning of this year, my English has improved and I am very grateful.

My daughter attended KLEAR and she loved it.  My daughter had great fun and enjoyed learning at KLEAR.
