High School University Preparation: Building Confidence for Your Future
“Will I be able to keep up with English classes at university?” “I want to speak up confidently in class discussions.” “I hope to develop skills that will serve me well in my career.”
These are the hopes and concerns we hear from high school students and their families. At Starfish English, we understand both the excitement and anxiety that comes with preparing for university life, and we’re here to support each student’s journey toward confident, effective English communication.
