OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS AGLOBAL EDUCATOROURSTUDENTSUCCESSSTORIESReimi KuboJapan – Studied in the USAMirko de MartiniItaly – Studied in DublinI’ve always wanted to studyEnglish, and when my husbandgot relocated to the USA, I tookthat opportunity to enroll atKaplan International. When I firstarrived my English was very poor.I couldn’t speak or understandanything. I’d forgotten everythingI learned while in school. Now mygrammar is improving, and I canspeak more naturally and withgreater confidence.”I decided to study English becausenowadays it’s an important languageto know. It‘s really useful if you want towork in a multinational company. Butbeing here I understood that the mostbeautiful thing is that with Englishyou can communicate with everyone.You are not stuck with your nationality– you can go beyond that. When Idecided to study English, it was onlyfor career reasons but now that I‘mgoing to finish my experience, I thinkthat it‘s more for communication.Since its founding more than 80 years ago, Kaplan has been a beacon for expanding educational access.
