Hoang Long Pham – Vietnam Year 13

“In my opinion, Ashbourne is a wonderful friendly place where I can meet many international students.  I’ve learnt many great things from them during the one year I have studied here.  Ashbourne teachers also help me so much.  They give me motivation to achieve good results in this AS year. ”

“There is no better place to study A level than Ashbourne College.  The college really helped me to make the best of my time here.The teachers are very kind. They are always patient to explain the lessons for me.  I also received a lot of help and career advice from my personal tutor, the head master and my subject teachers to prepare for my university interview.  Without such kindness I wouldn’t have made it to Cambridge.”

“I am glad that I did my A levels at Ashbourne College.  One and a half years studying here has taught me a lot.  Things that I have never learnt before.  I have learnt about responsibility to myself and everybody else.  I have changed a lot and am glad that it is a good change.  Next year, I hope that my sister will study A levels here, where she can feel at home as well.  Ashbourne is my overseas home where my teachers, my classmates, and my friends are my family.  Love you Ashbourne.”

“My decision of joining Ashbourne and studying here has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.  The first wonderful thing is that I have had invaluable opportunities to work with experienced and responsible teachers, who did not hesitate to spend their free time to answer my questions and helped me. Meeting cool and friendly teenagers from many other countries in the world is the second fantastic thing.  Studying together everyday, talking to each other about our families and ourselves, rehearsing and performing together songs in the School Revue, these are all lovely memories that I believe my friends and I can never forget.  The third interesting thing is, whenever I have troubles, regardless of what I define “troubles “, I know I could go and talk to the “Kirby’s angels”, and guess what, they always help me to sort things out smoothly. Ashbourne is like a big family, I am so proud that I am a part of it!”

“ Having an opportunity to study at Ashbourne could mean that you’re going to experience the best time of your life.  I’ve been taught by excellent teachers who’ve always shown me how much they really care about me and treat me as though I am an independent individual helping me to find the true me.  I’ve got to thank my tutors, and especially the administration team who’ve always guided me the right way and made this feel like home. I came looking to make good friends and I have made a lot of them at Ashbourne.  No matter where we come from, no matter how physically different we are, we always have the same aim when studying at Ashbourne, to widen our knowledge and to find our own way in the future.”
