Zeynep Sevim comment below demonstrates just how empowering having access to ESOL classes can be!
‘My name is Zeynep. I come from turkey. I am married and I have one child. I like reading books and going with my child on school trips. I am going to join a library. I came to the UK in 2001, because I wanted a better life. I came here with my husband. My daughter was born in the UK. I am now altogether happy. ESOL classes been useful to my life because when I go to the GP, sometimes with an easy problem, I don’t need to use a translator. Thank you to my ESOL class and teacher.’ Zeynep Sevim
