How TLA Prepared Me for University:
The Learn Academy (TLA) prepared me for the real world by helping me develop essential skills like essay writing, problem-solving, and time management. The school’s schedule encouraged me to become more organized, flexible, and independent with my studies—skills that have proven crucial in my university life.
Favourite Aspect of TLA:
My favorite part of attending TLA was the incredible support from the teachers. They went above and beyond to find creative ways to teach me due to my dyslexia and ADHD, never giving up on me, even when I struggled to believe in myself during A-levels.
General Experience:
TLA was an amazing experience where I not only made great friends but also formed close connections with my teachers. Thanks to their help and the support of the entire school staff, I was able to secure a spot at a great university and achieve more than I ever thought possible.
