"I am studying ELICOS as I need a good English level to pass the IELTS Examination. My brother-in-law recommended I study at The Gordon, as he had studied here.
I enjoy learning to speak English as I'm a sociable and talkative person, and the teachers have excellent experience teaching international students.
After I complete ELICOS, I plan to study an automotive course as I would like to work as a car technician and open a car workshop."

“I am originally from Karen in Burma. I left when I was 17 and spent 30 years in refugee camps. This is where I developed an interest in education and childcare, as I worked in the pre-schools there.
I arrived in Australia in 2014 and when I first started my English classes they were very difficult. Everything was so different, but the teachers were very understanding and patient, and really helped me. The classes didn’t just teach me English, but also the culture of living in Australia. All of the students were also encouraged to share their culture.
I am now more confident and am looking forward to continuing my studies in childcare. I hope my experience at The Gordon will also encourage others, and I hope to share all my new knowledge with my community.”
