Meet Some Students with Conditional University Offers

Ban-Ruo Andy Li

“Bellerbys College provides a one hour Tutor Group session every week to all students.  My tutor, Dr. Cameron has been particularly helpful; he guided me and my fellows through our UCAS applications and provided all of us lots of useful information and helpful advices.  The specialty about Bellerbys is the once-every-week Oxbridge meeting hosted by the programme manager Mr. Corcut.  All Oxbridge prospective students in Bellerbys gather together, talk about recent affairs and express our own perspectives. This is an excellent and unique platform to prepare for the "tricky" Oxbridge interviews in December. 

Unlike public schools in the UK, Bellerbys does provide a lot of support in studies to students at the beginning of their courses and this is found most useful by new foreign students who are not familiar with the language, with the British education systems and with the culture.  Teachers in Bellerbys are not only committed to helping students acquire enough As to go to a good university, they are, more importantly, committed to teaching students the learning methods they need at university.  In this sense, Bellerbys really provides a thoughtful and caring preparation for university education.

I love British people, first of all. Most of them are very nice, kind and helpful. No matter how poor your language skill is, once they realise you're trying to say something, they're always patient to listen and sort out your problems.  Unlike most of the people on this planet, I love British food too!  I enjoy having fish 'n' chips, cottage pies, Angus beef burgers and so on.  In fact I occasionally cook British food at my host family too!”

Update - Final grades achieved: AAAAA
