Gentiana Haxhija
Gentiana is in her first year of the BTEC First Diploma in Business - having previously completed English, ICT and Maths ESOL at Southwark College. Gentiana says: “Southwark College has helped me with my English and this has allowed me to progress on to a Business Diploma which I have always wanted to study but couldn’t unless I improved my English.

The tutors were very supportive and are always helpful in answering my questions and encouraging me to learn. I enjoy my social life at college and have made many friends; I have lunch with my friends in the local area and sometimes meet in the canteen to socialise. I have been involved in the Student Union and I find this very rewarding as I have a say in the activities of the college and I am able to communicate students’ ideas. I enjoy Southwark College as it is very friendly and has good facilities that have helped me achieve my educational goals. My goal is to continue on to complete my National Diploma in Business at Southwark College and then progress on to University to study a degree in Business Administration.”
