From China to the UK: Selena's Story

Meet Selena, our General English student at Kings Brighton. She shares her journey of learning English, the supportive environment at Kings, and how studying in the UK compares to her experience in China.

"Hi, I'm Selena. I'm studying English because I want to prepare for my Degree Pathway Programme.

I love Kings because the teachers are very kind and they always encourage me to say what I want to say, even if it's wrong. There are about 4 to 10 people in my class and I think the class size is good for me because the teachers can care about everybody.

There are a lot of people from different countries and I can make lots of friends. I think the differences between China and the UK are that at Kings, we don't have too much homework and as high pressure put on us, but maybe in China we have a lot of homework and exams to prepare for us for university.

I would recommend Kings to other students because I think it's an amazing experience."
