"The key to success was personalized preparation." – Read the story of Márton, who prepared for the CAE exam in just a few months with the help of International House Budapest!
Preparing for a language exam can often take months or even years, especially if you set yourself serious goals. However, Márton, a 19-year-old student, successfully prepared for and passed the Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) exam in a short period of time, all with the help of International House Budapest's individual course. Márton explained why he chose this school, how he experienced the learning process, and what helped him most in his success.
Why did you decide to prepare for the exam at International House Budapest?
"My high school English teacher recommended International House to me. I thought that it would be better suited to my goals (to prepare for the CAE language exam in a few months and pass it successfully) if the attention was focused solely on me and we could work on my strengths and weaknesses individually. And I think it worked. Perhaps because the teachers' attention was not divided among several students and they focused only on me for 1.5 hours, the preparation was more effective."
What was your goal in learning English and taking the exam?
"My primary goal in studying was to obtain the certificate. I would like to continue studying abroad in English, and it is a requirement there. Secondly, I wanted to improve my general English skills because I would like to communicate better in English in all areas and on all topics, and understand as much as possible in English."
What were your experiences with teachers?
"The teachers were excellent. They were highly skilled in every area, whether it was grammar, vocabulary, or preparing students for different types of tasks using learning methods. It's no coincidence that they are good teachers. (I particularly liked the fact that one of my teachers was a native speaker.)"
Who would you recommend International House Budapest to?
"Actually, anyone. No matter what you want to learn English for, or why, or who you are, I think there is a suitable course and training program for every purpose here. The administration was also professional and fast, which is also important. And everyone was really nice and seemed to want the best for me (which was really the case)."
Márton's story clearly shows that with personalized attention and the help of professionally trained teachers, even ambitious goals can be achieved in a short period of time.
If you have set yourself similar goals, whether you are preparing for a language exam, planning to study abroad, or simply want to communicate more confidently in English, you will find the right course for you at International House Budapest.
