The most difficult part of the admission process is the program selection stage, because it requires a lot of analytical work. However, choosing the right universities and specializations counts for 50% of the success rate.

As for the process of interaction, I always find a common language with my applicants and their parents — we are on the same wavelength. I try to understand the feelings and wishes of the students. Not everyone can immediately express what they want, and my task is to help them figure it out.

"Do you only work with specific universities?"

Fortunately, no. We are not tied or limited to a specific selection of universities that we offer to everyone. On the contrary, we individually approach each request, consider all possible options, and select programs according to the criteria of applicants so that their profiles meet the requirements of universities.

German chose me. Before entering university, I did not at all plan to study it, and it was never in the list of languages that I desired to learn. But fate had its own plans. I applied to several linguistic faculties and received a budgetary placement for the English-German faculty — which is where I stayed. I never regretted my choice, since it had a strong teaching staff.

Regarding English — it was my first foreign language since grade school.

As long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to anything international. The topic of foreign education is close to me, and I enjoy helping students realize their dreams. I want to show them that it is absolutely possible to enter a foreign university. It is invaluable to be at the forefront of this exciting journey filled with hundreds of opportunities, hearing the enthusiastic feedback from students and parents.

Before joining UniPage, I completed a master's program in Intercultural Communication within the International Business field. My initial education was in linguistics, and I pursued economics as my second degree.

The combination of skills I acquired during my academic journey, participation in a student exchange program, and my experience as an administrator on a cruise ship ultimately led me to become a mentor.

After my fourth year at university, I won a scholarship from the DAAD, which covered my studies at the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg and accommodation with a German family. It was an invaluable experience. I learned how the foreign education system works, gained tremendous knowledge, became imbued with German culture, and met young and ambitious people from all over the world.

I am comfortable working with any country, but I find Germany to be the most interesting. I am perhaps attracted to the complexity and unpredictability.
There is a lot of competition at German universities, and sometimes the requirements may differ from those stated. For example, they might indicate one language level, but in reality seek another. Or, you think that a person will not be accepted to a master's program due to a lack of desired credits from their bachelor's studies, but they manage to get accepted. Granted, you must always submit documents to several universities.

I have been to four countries, with my trip to the United States being the most momentous. I visited America after my second year at university as part of a student exchange program, and stayed there for three and a half months. This trip has remained my brightest and most unforgettable.

My spare time is divided between active and passive activities. For the active part, I enjoy going for walks with friends and exploring different places. On the other hand, I also appreciate the quieter moments at home. Like many other young individuals, I find myself spending a considerable amount of time surfing the Internet. Being a mentor requires a lot of energy and strength, so my brain needs time to recharge.

I am also actively involved as an organizer in a public youth association, which demands a significant portion of my free time. Within this role, we arrange meetings with notable figures and cultural events catered towards young people. These events include literary evenings, movie screenings, discussions, and charity initiatives. Recently, we initiated a scholarship competition for 10th and 11th-grade students in Kabardino-Balkaria — three winners will be awarded a six-month scholarship.
