Tamara:
Pre-Boarding to Roedean School
After completing CIE’s pre-boarding course in 2006, Tamara went on to enroll at Roedean School in Brighton. We caught up with her just before her summer break in mid-2008.
Tamara is happy to report that she is enjoying her time at Roedean very much. Her favourite class at the moment is Psychology. Taking advantage of the cosmopolitan atmosphere at the school, she has made new friends from many different countries, such as Ukraine, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.
Of course, she also manages to keep in touch with her friends from home via Internet tools such as email and Facebook. She also returns to Russia for every holiday break to see her family and friends.
Although she loves being at Roedean, Tamara says she will always remember her favourite teachers at CIE, such as Elisabeth, Kerri, Ellen, Clare, and a lot of others—adding that the class sizes were “usually just right.”
“I love Oxford and the CIE staff,” she said. “I met a lot of interesting people and new friends.” |
