What our students say

I came back to do my Leaving because I left school at 14 and always wanted to come back to education, and I have a great teacher called Geraldine who makes learning interesting and fun.

I went back to education because I had no confidence in my spelling or writing and hated when I was asked to fill in forms in front of somebody.  I panicked. I heard about KLEAR and felt I should try it. My sister went first. Since then I have gained confidence in my writing and spelling and feel much better about myself.  We have great conversations about everything.

I joined KLEAR to enhance my vocabulary and help me with my writing and spelling.  Initially I came to take on the Junior Cert English and also fill the void of boredom from being unemployed. Taking the Junior Cert English may also in the end enable me to get a job at the end. Hopefully it will.

I was ready to come back to adult education because my children are older and I have a bit more time for myself.  I think it’s great getting back mixing with people and the courses are great. They get you back thinking again and give you a bit more confidence.  My children see me going back to adult education and I think they look up to me more.

When I retired I needed something to fill up my time.  Also I wanted a challenge and decided to set myself a goal.

When it was time for me to finish up work, I had a lot of free time on my hands. A friend of mine who was in KLEAR suggested I might like to try a course. As I had left school very early, it was something I had always wanted to do.  Returning to education has brought new challenges to me. I have many new friends and my goal now is to get my Leaving Cert. English, something I hope to do well in, thanks to KLEAR.

I am taking this opportunity to polish my English. I have a difficulty with spelling and accent because my native language is French.  I also find it hard to pronounce words in English. I have joined KLEAR beginning of this year, my English has improved and I am very grateful.

I’m going back to education because I need to improve my ability to understand and speak English.  With all things that I have to do at home, there is no chance to learn anything. It’s good to have the crèche where to leave the toddler.  It’s good for her to socialise there with the other children and good for me to mix with Irish people.

My daughter attended KLEAR and she loved it.  My daughter had great fun and enjoyed learning at KLEAR.

I want to thank Aileen and the girls at KLEAR as my son is graduating this year and has loved his time there at KLEAR.

My two children have attended crèche and ECCE at KLEAR and I would highly recommend it.
