From Classroom to Campus: How Eight Months at Live Language Changed Everything
When Walid first walked through the doors of Live Language Glasgow, he had a clear goal: to improve his English enough to study at a UK university. Eight months later, he didn't just achieve that goal – he exceeded it.
The Challenge
Like many international students, Walid arrived from Saudi Arabia with ambition and determination, but his English level wasn't quite where it needed to be for university admission. He knew that to succeed in academic life, he'd need more than just basic communication skills – he'd need the confidence to participate in seminars, write essays, and engage with complex academic texts.
The Live Language Experience
Over eight months of intensive study at Live Language, Walid immersed himself in English. Our small class sizes meant he received personalised attention from expert teachers who understood exactly what he needed to succeed at university level.
He progressed through multiple levels, building not just his grammar and vocabulary, but his critical thinking skills, academic writing ability, and confidence in speaking. The supportive, multicultural environment at Live Language helped him feel at home in Glasgow whilst preparing for the challenges ahead.
The Result
Today, Walid is thriving at a UK university, putting the skills he developed at Live Language to use every single day. From writing research papers to presenting in tutorials, the foundation he built during those eight months continues to support his academic success.

"Live Language didn't just teach me English – they prepared me for university life in the UK. The teachers believed in me, and that made all the difference." – Walid
