English, Maths and Science

“I really enjoyed my Functional Skills English course at RHACC. The online lessons were interesting and engaging, and my tutor, Garo Kourjian, was always helpful, knowledgeable and patient when answering questions. It was a very positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend the course.”

“Before joining RHACC, I lacked confidence in my English. Thanks to the support, encouragement and excellent teaching I received, I improved my speaking, writing and grammar skills and gained the confidence to believe in myself. RHACC has made a truly positive difference to my learning journey.”

“I wanted to thank the college and Sonali for such an engaging course – it’s really helped me understand the maths I use in daily life much more easily.
I feel far more confident working things out and understanding why different functions exist. It’s made a real difference not just for me, but also in supporting my children with their schoolwork.
I no longer feel intimidated by maths and have really enjoyed the course. My maths isn’t perfect yet – but it’s a work in progress I’m no longer afraid of!”

“I was unsure about restarting my education, but I’m so glad I did once I started at RHACC. I began a basic English course and have now progressed to GCSE English.

Coming to RHACC allowed me to refine my passion for poetry and gain key skills. I have also made friends and has helped me with my mental health issues, I would highly recommend RHACC to anyone interested in furthering their education, no matter where you are in life.”

“I chose to study at RHACC because it has a strong reputation for adult education, and my wife encouraged me to take some courses. I studied GCSE Maths and English, and from the start I found the atmosphere welcoming and inclusive. The teachers were experts in their subjects and gave individual support whenever I needed it.

When I first began my Maths lessons, I struggled even with basic calculations. I felt like a rusty engine that had been sitting idle for a long time – restarted, but not running properly. Through attending lessons, studying, and discussing ideas with classmates, I gradually built my confidence and learned to approach problems from different perspectives. RHACC gave me the skills and confidence to keep learning and move forward.”

“When I came to RHACC, I was scared and didn’t think I could do it. After a life-changing accident, I was rebuilding my confidence and my English, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. The teachers made me feel capable again. The small classes and the support I received helped me rebuild my confidence, and my Level 2 English project changed everything. It gave me the belief to apply for university, something I never thought I would do, and it became my first published book. RHACC isn’t just a place to study; it’s a community where you feel safe, supported, and able to start again.”

“I started with English and Maths at RHACC and progressed to Access to Computing. I gained admission to university, and the interactive, supportive teaching gave me the confidence I needed to succeed.”

“The teachers went the extra mile—even taking us on trips to labs and universities. I’ve now completed several GCSEs at RHACC and feel ready for the next chapter. The support I received helped me regain confidence and plan for my future.”
