Why Choose PSW Program: Finding Her Path Forward

My journey at Anderson College has truly transformed my life. Initially, I was uncertain about pursuing the Personal Support Worker (PSW) course, but meeting Iuliia changed that. She guided me through the process of joining the college, setting me on a new path. Miss Afrina Aziz then helped me complete my admission, ensuring everything went smoothly. Glen, the financial aid officer, provided crucial guidance on the fee process, alleviating my financial concerns. During this time, Sheeba Obaid, the student services coordinator, became a dear friend, offering support whenever I needed it.

PSW Course Student Experience: Learning and Support That Matter

Starting the PSW course under Maryam Aroony’s guidance was a turning point. Her kindness and dedication made learning enjoyable and enriching. Anderson College also offered a Smart English course, where Gayane Oganesyan, an inspiring teacher, helped me improve my English skills, boosting my confidence. Beyond academics, Anderson College brought joy to my life, like the memorable pizza party on campus with my husband.

This journey has been the most impactful period of my life, changing my lifestyle, reshaping my thinking, and giving me the courage to move forward with confidence and purpose. Anderson College has not only educated me but also helped me grow in ways I never imagined.
