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.
