The most important skill that I developed as a TEMS student was my independence. Since TEMS provides you with some academic and living supports, you feel like they have your back so you feel more confident to be independent. I think that's an important thing when you’re first coming to a new country where you don’t know anyone.

All the tutors that I have had at TEMS were super nice and sweet. When you're under pressure, we don't really want to ask something, but TEMS tutors were really nice and kind to us which made me feel like I'm learning from my own parents.

I think I learned professionalism at TEMS. I learned how to do time management skills...like when you have a presentation you have to plan and manage your skills and manage your time to be done before the due date. All of those things I learned from TEMS and from the teachers.

TEMS definitely helped me throughout the years because I was able to rely on the tutors and we had academic mentors. I think that mentally helped me and it was good to have those support systems because I think I was able to focus solely on schoolwork.

For Waterloo, there's many universities nearby so you can indirectly experience university life. And some university libraries are often open for students to come in and study.
