ESOL Adult - Level 1

Svitlana is originally from Ukraine and had worked for 15 years as an engineer. When her husband accepted a job offer in London, they moved to the UK six years ago. She then enrolled in an ESOL Level 1 course at Merton College. 

Svitlana said: "I found lessons at Merton college to be like a special gift given to me, perhaps for my strong desire to improve my English as a second language for a better life. As a result of my new skills, I was able to look for employment and was offered a good job in London. I am passionate about continuing to develop my English and very grateful to all my teachers for the skills they have helped me to learn."

Svitalna now works as a CAD Technician within a Mechanical and Electrical team where she is in charge of creating AutoCAD drawings and schematics.
