When Yasir Hussain came to the UK, he hardly spoke any English and struggled to understand the language. Yasir joined Merton to enrol on the full time study programme for ESOL 16-18s at Entry Level 3.  which, alongside ESOL, also includes Functional Skills ICT and Maths. 

Yasir said: "I applied to study ESOL at Merton College to help improve my understanding of English. Throughout my studies, I was lucky that I was able to learn the language quickly and, with the help of our wonderful teachers, easily got to grips with it. I found the classes to be fun and interesting. Within the full time study programme, we also studied FS ICT and Maths."
