Academic Results
"My English course at Kaplan changed my life. One year later, I'm living in Zurich, working for an American company – one of the biggest in the world in its field! Thanks to my improved English, I've had the opportunity to move abroad, advance my career and, most importantly, meet people from different countries and cultures – that's the most amazing part of speaking the 'language of the world'."
