When Kuzma joined SHKOLA, his English was at B1 and he was uncomfortable speaking. His family had moved to Italy, and admission to a European university required a 12th year of schooling — two years more than the Russian system provides.
In one year, he brought his English to a confident C1 and finished 11th and 12th grade in parallel.
Results:
- English: B1 → C1 in one year
- 11th and 12th grade finished ahead of schedule
- IELTS: 6.5
- Diploma average: 93.5
- Admitted to King’s College London, International Relations
- Prepared and delivered a talk in English at a UN Human Rights Conference in Vienna
