Studying at IUCA helped me to gain profound knowledge of teaching methodology and to master my academic skills. To start with, the academic staff includes professional and dedicated teachers who guided me in my learning pathway.
The IUCA faculty consists of educators who use innovative and critical approaches to teach IUCA students. In addition, a specialized and well-structured university program provides a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the subject area and encourages student motivation. Furthermore, a dynamic classroom environment and different extracurricular activities helped me develop my language and academic skills.
I participated in different university contests and for a year, I was the Vice-President of the Student Senate «Event Management» at IUCA. Therefore, I obtained the relevant education and qualifications required for my desired career in the future.
After graduating from the IUCA, I got a full scholarship to study for a master's degree in teaching at the American University of Central Asia. My strong teaching background and high language skills helped me successfully graduate from the AUCA and achieve academic excellence there.
Importantly, I am a Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement Program 2022 alumna. I passed the professional development course for educators at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in the USA. I worked for 4 years in the private Bilimkana Kara-Balta School where I was in charge of the English language department. Currently, I work online for OSUN Hubs Connected Learning Initiatives. I am an English instructor teaching Academic English courses for Bangladesh and African students.
To conclude, I strongly believe that studying at the International University of Central Asia helped me to become a professional English teacher and accomplish my career goals.

How to become a commercial director of a large trading company from a teenager who lives in a small and poor village? It is possible if you are a graduate of IUCA.
When I was 17 years old, I could not have imagined that coming to IUCA would give me the opportunity to see half of the world, to work in the best companies in different countries, to get acquainted with a variety of people, to study their culture and life.
After graduating from IUCA I had a huge baggage of knowledge, which was not just information in my head, it was a really necessary set of skills for survival, competitiveness, growth and achieving any goals in the modern world. Critical thinking, communication skills, honesty, respect, different language learning techniques, psychology, business and financial management, IT knowledge - these were the skills that allowed me to push the boundaries of my abilities and views.
Thanks to IUCA I was able to visit 14 countries, lived in Taiwan (one of the most technologically developed countries) for 10 years, and grew up to the head of a whole department in one of the leading industrial companies of this country.
Now I live in the UAE, work as a commercial director of a large trading company in the heavy industry and all the knowledge I gained at IUCA still helps me to grow and achieve my goals.
