What Our Students Are Saying
What Our Students Are Saying
I really want to thank not only my teachers but all the BlueSky staff that made the last two weeks so memorable. I got a chance to try many things I would never do at home and I feel much more confident speaking English than I did before.
What Our Students Are Saying
I learned so many new things during our public speaking camp in London, how to engage an audience, how to present information, and even how to dress. I feel like I can accomplish much more now with my new skills. While we were here we saw many famous places where important speeches were given, I hope this could be me some day.
What Our Students Are Saying
Going to London was such a special experience for me. My teachers made sure I learned many new things and I saw so many interesting things. Universities in London are so amazing, after this camp I hope I can come back to UK for study someday.
What Our Students Are Saying
I always love Harry Potter so I was very happy to see Harry Potter studio and see Oxford, it was like a real castle, there’s nothing like it at home. I also enjoyed getting a chance to do acting. I have always been too shy but my teachers and new friends always encouraged me! I feel I much more confident in front of other people now, I hope other students can have the same experience.
What Our Students Are Saying
I loved all the history we could see in London. We got opportunities to see many famous places and we always were doing something fun. I especially liked getting to play British games like ultimate Frisbee, I never tried before and it was lots of fun.
