Through the teaching of iCAP university preparatory courses, we can ensure that students ultimately master the ability to integrate various knowledge they have learned. We will guide students to gradually shift from a simple way of thinking to a more complex mode of questioning and problem-solving, in order to fully prepare for the challenges of university learning.
For international students, the most important thing is to make them feel safe on the road to success and have access to comprehensive support and assistance at all times. The personal tutoring teaching method offered by iCAP's university preparatory courses is designed to meet the needs of international students, helping them adapt faster and better to the new school environment and the impact of cultural differences.
Our designated university admission advisors are specifically responsible for providing students with advice on future courses and careers. Merely achieving good grades in learning is far from enough. We provide students with accurate information and advice based on their actual situation, in order to help them make the best choices for college application.
