For international students aged 17-19, a well-planned gap year in an English-speaking country can be transformative, building language confidence, academic readiness, and the independence that university demands.
I work with families worldwide to design a gap year that fits your child’s goals, level, and personality. Every pathway is built around them, it never a standard package.
Three pathways to choose from
University foundation
Sixth month to one-year programmes at UK institutions on university campus that prepare students for undergraduate entry subject learning, academic writing, and English language support in one course.
English immersion
Intensive English programmes in leading cities across the UK, USA, and Canada. Ideal for students who want to strengthen their language before applying to university. Academic or subjects of interest can be added too
Travel & volunteering
Purpose-driven programmes in Africa and Latin America, combining meaningful community work with travel and language. Builds maturity, perspective, and a strong university personal statement.
