What made you choose Reigate?

I really wanted to take Spanish and it wasn’t on offer at my school’s sixth form as there weren’t enough students to make a class. 

How did you decide which subjects to study?

I really struggled to make up my mind and chose five subjects I enjoyed, which looking back was hard work. It’s so nice studying subjects I’ve chosen; I look forward to every single lesson. 

How have you found studying a language at Reigate?

The language department is so well equipped; the facilities are amazing and the standard of teaching is really high. Having the weekly hour of Spanish conversation with a native speaker has really helped build my confidence and vocabulary. The teachers are so passionate about their subjects, it makes the lessons fun. 

How is College different from school?

I think the rapport with the teachers has made all the difference; they are so open, welcoming and willing to give up their time to help, you just have to ask. 

What are your plans for the future?

I want to study a joint degree in Spanish and English Literature and am interested in going into teaching.
