Reviews from Lingua Mira students in Tashkent and across Uzbekistan — interviews, relocation, studies and work in English, told in their own words. Real stories from teens and adults who finished a 12-week programme in a group of up to six or one-to-one: where they started, what changed and how long it actually took.
Stories
Real students. Their words, not ours.
We don't write these stories for our students. Below is what they told us after the programme, in their own words.
Adult
Yulia, 32
English for travel
«Before a trip I used to rehearse every phrase in advance and worried that people would not understand me. After the lessons I was able to handle the airport, the hotel and cafés on my own. Now I travel much more calmly and I am not afraid to be the first to speak.»

Got into her dream school, Sodiq School
«I really wanted to get into Sodiq School, but I was nervous about the entrance tests and the interview. In our lessons we did not just study English — we went through real questions and practised answering with confidence. Thanks to that preparation I passed the selection and got into my dream school.»

Studying in Turkey: from a dream to a diploma
«I dreamed of studying in Turkey, but at first I was not sure I could cope with the coursework and with communicating in English. Thanks to the lessons I began to speak more confidently, to understand my lecturers and to communicate freely in an academic setting. In the end I was admitted to a Turkish institute and graduated successfully.»
