You can never guess how difficult it was. Soon after, I was recommended to study at which was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. After nearly a year I took the IELTS exam and got the mark I required which was 7.5. Now I'm working as a surgeon and I believe that has considerably contributed to my career in the UK. The teachers I had were amazing. The things they taught me are facilitating my professional life. I am really grateful to all of you. Claire (France) Turhan (Turkey) s teachers and staff are really engaged and friendly. They always listen to students in order to help them improve their English skills. I truly recommend International to all the students who want to come to London to learn, improve or perfect their English in the best conditions. 3
