“AUK Prep helped me start speaking English with confidence. Before the course, I lacked vocabulary and real practice. Thanks to the support of international instructors and regular Speaking Clubs, I stepped out of my comfort zone and became more fluent. After completing the course, I received a certificate that exempted me from the language test when applying to AUK. But what I remember most is the atmosphere — a community of people who also wanted more. Most of us ended up enrolling at AUK. It was my first step toward something greater.”

Student Stories

I really liked that the AUK Prep classes were interactive and gave us many opportunities to practice English in different ways. The teachers were very supportive, friendly, and always ready to explain something if we had questions.

They created a comfortable atmosphere where I wasn’t afraid to participate in discussions or make mistakes. I also liked that we received feedback, which helped me understand what I needed to improve

One of my favorite parts was the Speaking Club because it gave me more confidence in communicating in English. We could discuss different topics, share our opinions, and practice speaking in a more relaxed environment. I also found the writing practice very useful, especially because academic writing is important for studying at university. It helped me become more familiar with the type of writing I would later need at AUK. 

Overall, AUK Prep was a great experience and a good preparation for studying at AUK. It helped me feel more comfortable using English in an academic environment and made the transition to studying in English much easier. I also became more confident in my English and felt more prepared for my first university classes.

When I started this course, I never imagined I would make so many interesting friends whom I would later study with at university. The course helped me improve both my grammar and speaking skills, thanks to the group work and Saturday Speaking Club lessons.

Special thanks to my teacher for speaking with us about self-presentation and helping us write our motivation letters for university.

I am thoroughly satisfied with the course because it significantly boosted my English skills. I gained a wealth of valuable knowledge on expressing thoughts more fluently, structuring essays more precisely, and acquiring a vast amount of useful vocabulary. Among all the sessions, I enjoyed the Speaking clubs the most, as they greatly enhanced my confidence and fluency in English speaking. With my classmates, we discussed various topics and engaged in interesting group discussions, expressing different points of view.

I also appreciated my progress in writing. One highlight was our on-campus experience, particularly the lecture titled "How to Write a Motivation Letter" by Jacob McGrew, which I found absolutely enjoyable and insightful.

My experience with the AUK Prep course was incredibly exciting and rewarding. Learning from excellent teachers and being part of such an engaging community made my time at AUK very enjoyable. Every minute of this course was a delight, but what stood out the most was the opportunity to learn from our amazing teachers, who also became friends throughout the course. They did a wonderful job of making me feel comfortable and confident speaking in English. I am deeply grateful for their constant help and support.

The AUK Prep course has played a pivotal role in my English learning journey, especially in improving my writing skills. I have learned to structure and write coherent texts, and I can now easily formulate well-supported arguments with appropriate examples on various topics. The Speaking Club meetings with native speakers were both enjoyable and beneficial. Not only did I improve my understanding of fluent speakers, but I also gained insights into American culture and mentality. Having someone to support me and provide advice on improving my English speaking skills was invaluable.

The on-campus sessions were memorable and engaging, with the lecture on American values and their reflection in language being particularly remarkable. It was both fun and enlightening, providing me with a deeper understanding of the American mindset.

Overall, the AUK Prep course has provided me with numerous wonderful opportunities that I will always cherish and appreciate.

In fact, it was the best English course I have ever taken. First of all, the community of fellow students was fantastic. Next, our teachers were very engaging. I greatly improved my speaking skills and learned a lot about how Americans speak and think. I very much enjoyed our on-campus live sessions with AUK teachers. Each session felt like a virtual trip to the U.S. in the center of Kyiv. Every single time, I received a wealth of information that will help me in the future, from "how to be polite when talking to Americans" to "how to record the ideal video for admission to AUK."
