A caring and supportive environment

Once a student’s application has been accepted the Welfare Department ensures that their start to college life goes smoothly. Staff in the Welfare Department are always available for any issues that students and parents may wish to discuss with them. Our students’ well-being is of the utmost importance to us and we ensure that our students remain happy and well supported during their time with us.

Personal Tutors will help with any academic concerns, provide support and guidance with university applications as well as being available to deal with any possible non-academic issues.

What students say about CTC

The main reason I came to CTC was because many of my siblings and cousins were already here. They highly recommended this school as a perfect preparation for the GCE A-levels and undergraduate study at top universities in the UK. Since I have been here, I have experienced just that. CTC has provided me with opportunities that I would not have had if I had studied elsewhere. The academic preparation I get here is top-class, and the small classroom environment ensures that my study is active and my teachers approachable. The weekly test periods ensure every student has a firm grip of the subject and can be at their highest potential when taking the exams. The host family I lived with last year was very supportive and kind. They helped me adjust to the British environment and ensured a smooth transition to the culture. I am currently studying A-level Physics, Economics, and Maths, and hope to study Economics in university”. (Kyaw Min Tun Rajesh Bhusal, Myanmar)
