K. Sivitsky is an example of how a structured learning path and strong determination can dramatically transform a student’s educational trajectory in a short period of time.
At the starting point, his situation was challenging: an English level of B1 and a strong fear of speaking in a language that was supposed to become the main tool for academic studies and university admission in Europe. An additional complexity was his family’s relocation to Italy, which required rebuilding his educational plan and fulfilling the requirement of completing 12 years of schooling for admission to a European university.
During his studies at SHKOLA, K. Sivitsky received comprehensive academic and organizational support. Teachers and mentors guided him through every stage — from building a personalized learning plan to exam preparation and the development of academic English skills. Special attention was given to building confidence in communication and public speaking abilities.
The results achieved within one academic year were significant:
-
English improved from B1 to confident C1 level
-
Grades 11 and 12 were completed externally
-
IELTS score of 6.5 was achieved
-
Final academic GPA reached 93.5
-
Admission to King’s College London for International Relations was secured
After enrollment, K. Sivitsky continued to grow academically and professionally. He prepared an academic presentation in English and delivered a speech at a United Nations session, marking a natural continuation of his educational journey.
This case demonstrates that with a well-structured educational pathway, individualized support, and strong teacher involvement, even very challenging starting conditions can be overcome in a short time — leading to admission to top international universities and participation in global academic platforms.
