What our students say

For a long time I had thought of coming back to further my education.  What stopped me was lack of confidence, no self-esteem. When it came to signing forms or even reading out something, especially when I was getting my eyes tested, I was always afraid.

I decided to take the chance and go down to Klear.  It was the best step I have ever taken. I started English, Spanish and computers. My confidence and self-esteem have started to come back.  I have met lots of people and I enjoy it very much. I also plan to go and do my Leaving Cert and maybe further.

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.

It was the best decision I made to come and meet new people and I have learned so much on the different courses I have taken. The teachers are so caring and nothing is too much for them. 

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.

Going back to education has built my confidence. Working in a relaxed, comfortable situation is great and I am delighted with my achievements. 

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

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