My experience at boots is very goog compared to some places I’ve worked. I met my husband here and I love my English class I enjoy going to English, I’ve learnt a lot.
Fun, exciting lessons every week more confident than when I first started and it’s nice to see other people grow in confidence. Great stories to read and discuss made great friends.
My English was bad I was happy when I heard about the English course in Boots. I am now learning a lot, I feel much better and confident.
I got a contract with Boots and I’m sure my English class helped as I can talk better English. I like listening and speaking in my class and made good friends we also share our feelings.
I learn English every week and I learn lots of different words if I don’t understand my teacher explains. We learn and have fun, and my reading as improved.
Since I started my English course I think I improve my English. I communicate better and have a better understanding when reading and writing. I like that Boots can give me the opportunity to study English at the place I work I do appreciate this and I will try to do my best. Thank you.
Since attending my English class my English as improved, and I have more confidence in myself.
I had a very good experience on my English course meeting new people. Since I have been attending my confidence when speaking English as grown a lot and I love the atmosphere everyone is respectful and supportive.
