“I used to only get average marks because I was too shy to raise my hand or answer questions in class. After the course I was more confident and I started to join in more. In the second term I got four “excellent” marks in my progress report, and then ten in the third term.”
Ekaterina Tsoy, Secondary School №6, Atyrau
