Priyanka Khanduja – GCSE Maths and English
"Originally from India, I had studied hard and worked as a full-time school librarian, a job I loved.
When I first visited Adult Education Wolverhampton (AEW) my heart and mind had no hope and the idea that I had to start my education from the beginning was daunting. I sought guidance from Student Services who looked at my situation and suggested a course of study. This would help me to work towards the skills required to enable me to once again pursue my dream career as a librarian here in the UK.
In 2023 I started a programme of study that included GCSE maths and English. This gave me new hope, a new routine, a positive elevation in my confidence, and an acceptance and respect for my self-worth. The tutor's support, understanding, patient approach and constant encouragement has made learning an unforgettable experience. Studying has already given me the confidence to apply for jobs and I am starting to get accepted for interviews. I will continue learning until I have the skills and qualifications to pursue my dream career.
AEW is not only a place of learning but a cocoon of happiness, positivity, growth and an environment where you can share your thoughts and aspirations. All this is made possible by its amazing team of staff. It's a place I love to study and It's a place where you are accepted for who you are."
Congratulations to Priyanka on her results. Priyanka achieved Grade 7 in English and Grade 4 in Maths and said: "Adult Education gave me new hope, a new routine, a positive elevation in my confidence, and an acceptance and respect for my self worth."
