Shano Qader

I came to the UK from Iraq in 2009 and made my new home in Wolverhampton. I had studied English at school but using this in everyday life in the UK was not so easy. I needed to gain a much stronger grasp of the English language.

When I first enrolled in 2014 I was very shy, but as I started to learn, my language skills and confidence grew.

Adult Education has helped improve my communication skills and my chances of getting a job. My children have also benefited as I can help them with their homework. I have made many new friends from different cultures and look to a great future for me and my family.

I plan to progress onto functional skills and would eventually like to work as a Teaching Assistant or a Nurse. Because of Adult Education my options are open! I have already recommended this fantastic place to my family and friends.
