GCSE and IGCSE Student Stories:
International GCSE Student Stories: Harry Harber | IGCSE English Language

Looking to enhance his English teaching career, Harry enrolled on our IGCSE English Language course in order to gain the necessary knowledge to transfer to his students.

I obtained the IGCSE English language certificate back in November 2020 and am very happy with the grade that I achieved (Level 7). The reason for studying this course was to gain more knowledge about the English language, as I am going back to Asia to teach again (hopefully next year). Therefore, having studied this course, I feel confident about what I have learned and am ready to show it in practice. Notably, because the content I have studied is the sort of content; I would be teaching my students in the future.

I chose to study with ICS Learn, simply because at the time, I liked the idea of learning at my own pace, without having the pressure of being in a classroom.

The idea of being back in a classroom scared me as I did not do so well at school. However, as expected, I enjoyed the experience; the tutorials were very informative, and my tutor was very helpful and approachable when it came to feedback.

When doing the assignments, I liked the level of feedback my tutor gave me. It influenced me to want to try even harder, which was great!

I learned a lot about writing for different purposes and for different audiences, which I think is great to know, especially when I teach again in the future. The online platform was easy to follow with videos regarding how to navigate, I found this very useful.

Regarding the learning content, I think it was very well articulated and easy to follow, which enabled me to feel confident when learning.

I am also planning to write a novel in the future and having learned about fiction and non-fiction stories has helped me understand the way I need to write.

I would most definitely recommend ICS Learn to anybody who wants to follow their dreams.

Whether that is to be a teacher, to write, or to get your dream job. ICS Learn is a great company to choose from, as it enables you to work around your studies alongside the busy life’s we all have.
