What other students have said
"Just to let you know that I have successfully completed my MSc in Economics, Banking and Finance with Distinction [and] I have been awarded the first prize for the Centre for Development Studies. ... I wanted to share this information because you you are part of this success. Being the first academic people that I interacted with at the University, you shaped my perception on how things should be done and what makes difference in reading, writing, speaking, and listening to English. I wish the students that you teach everyday are aware of the opportunities..."
(Jose Pinho Ribeiro, Pre-sessional Summer 2010, email message to Pre-sessional tutors)
"So far, I have been in Glasgow over 4 months and I have really liked this amazing city and enjoyable life here. Studying in EFL the last 16 weeks, I found that I have made a great improvement in English especially writing academic essays and speaking, which gives me confidence to solve any problems. … I will keep working hard and fulfill my dreams in Glasgow."
