Life at Kings Oxford: Sofia

Sofia, from Mexico, is studying the Intensive Course at Kings Oxford. Here, she tells us in her own words about her first few months as a Kings English student.

"For me the most important thing in everything is the human sense. When I arrived in Oxford after doing quarantine everything looked so different to me, my first day at kings was unforgettable because I could notice that every person at school is amazing.

"All of my teachers are very professional, and each of them have a special thing that represents their personalities and also the values of Kings."

To have classes with Nick in the mornings is wonderful because he is kind and makes everything easy when it’s about learn grammatical.

Marc it’s the right person to teach about everything — he looks like he knows about all the cultures in the world and for me that someone shares with you their knowledge its a beautiful way to learn and never forget about it.

Dominic for me represents the country because I learn about him of the culture and the perfect English of England. His lessons are dynamic and funny!

Stuart teaches me about security when I'm talking to others. Listening to him helped me to understand every word perfectly.

And of course, the team of the administration that make me feel in a safe place to be, even if I am far away from home.

I really enjoy the activities from Kings because they think about everyone and they adapt the activities for each personality of the students. The time doing these activities moves so fast and I can meet everyday new persons if I assist to the activities after school.

"This is the most important thing — talking to different people around the world to learn together the same language and feel that, after all, we are part of this world and we can be friends even if we have different cultures."

After all, we are all humans!"
