The most difficult thing is to remain a supportive figure for students and parents in any situation.

We need to stay focused despite changing circumstances or admission conditions and approaching deadlines. When you are a mentor, you also become a friend and even sometimes a therapist. In a challenging situation, I always make sure to stay calm and self-controlled above my excitement and worries for the student.

This is the only way to meet all deadlines and requirements, respond to any changes on time, and ultimately receive the long-awaited study offer.

"When should I start preparing for admission?"

I think that the sooner you start working on your student profile, researching programs, and preparing documents, the greater your chances of admission and securing a scholarship. By the way, the question about financing your studies is the second most popular among applicants.

I started studying French at university. I never once regretted choosing the French Department, because the way we were taught the language was difficult but amazingly effective. The phonetic system differed a lot from the English language I had studied before, but by the end of the first year, constant practice helped me become proficient.

I decided to study Italian later on my own. My French language background helped me improve, and my interest in Italian culture and infatuation with the sound of language are keeping me motivated.

When we started learning English at school, I was immediately interested in the culture behind it, its differences and similarities to my own culture. I like to learn about customs, holidays, regional characteristics, art, and the mentality of people in other countries.

At university, I explored exchange program options. They seemed distant and not very accessible to me at first, but towards the end of my studies at the university I learned more about education abroad by watching various webinars and following relevant pages on social media. I learned about the existence of agencies where specialists help people find their dream study opportunities. I thought that it would be great to be a part of such a team.

I truly believe that studying in another country can open up a wealth of chances to people, no matter where they choose to live in the future.

I worked as a foreign language teacher at a language school, then completely switched to teaching individual lessons. I still teach one adult student who is learning French for herself and in the future wants to visit the country and communicate freely.

At some point, I realized that I would like to have teaching as a pleasant hobby and dedicate the majority of my time to other fields where I could use my skills and desire to help people. This is how I started at UniPage.

While studying at the university, I completed an internship in France. We helped teach French classes to refugees, which was an incredible experience. In addition, I immersed myself in the culture and history of the country, especially its southern region where we spent most of the time. So far this has been my only trip abroad, but in the future, I plan to visit other countries.

At the moment my favorite is, of course, France — a country with very distinct requirements and admission specifics which make the admission process even more interesting. I like its culture and the way French people think and live. This is also a very beautiful country.

So far, I have only visited France as part of my internship. In the future, I plan to significantly expand my list of countries.

I like to try new things and visit interesting places. My hobbies include drawing, yoga, reading, gym, and many more.
