Abdulkadir Durmush Kadir, as he is known, is Turkish and has attended QSI Dushanbe for three years. At the moment, Kadir intends to attend university, but he hasn’t found the right match for himself, yet. He is exploring the many different options he has available. Kadir has a passion for art, and he has is interested in graphic and media design. Kadir plans to spend his summer traveling with friends, but before he leaves, he has some great advice for secondary students: become very good at time management skills. He believes that students underestimate the need and effect of these skills. It is very important for students to learn how to create their own schedule. For teachers he suggests to be as prepared
as you expect your students to be and to seek advice from others. He further states it is very helpful to students when teachers are organized and manage their time effectively. Further, timely feedback is important and valuable. Kadir really appreciates teachers who take responsibility to connect with students, be prepared, and to go beyond the expectations of the students.
Janine Zein Janine is from Canada and has been attending QSI Dushanbe for nine years. In fact, we believe that she is the longest-attending student to graduate from QSID. Her plans following graduation are to move to Canada where she will attend Vancouver Community College and study business management and psychology. Following her two years at VCC, she plans to attend Waterloo University. She will spend her summer moving to and settling in in Vancouver. Her advice to students is to be an excellent time manager. Plan out daily what you want to accomplish. If you break everything into manageable chunks, you can accomplish a lot. Janine’s advice for teachers is to really understand the curriculum
well. It is hard for the students to understand a TSW if the teachers don’t. She encourages teachers to get close to students, to get to know them well and how to approach them. She has really admired the patience of many of her teachers who took extra time to help her through the program.
Yulia Kim Yulia was born in Uzbekistan but is ethnically Korean. She has been at QSID for three years. Next year she is hopefully going to the University of Glasgow in Scotland where she applied for the sociology department. This summer she is traveling with friends. Her advice to students is to get organized right from the beginning – Secondary I. Get a to-do list, have your assignments ready. In her experience, if she didn’t have her assignments organized she got lost and it got quite stressful, especially with online courses and having to do them independently. Being organized really helped in her last year – along with the encouragement from others. Her advice to teachers is to
communicate with students as much as possible. Teachers like Mr. Horton have helped her a lot by asking about her understanding. That and the many opportunities for extra help like safety netting has really helped her to grasp the concepts that she didn’t understand in class. QSI has helped her grow academically and personally. QSID is so small it forces students to learn. At most there are six people in a class and each and every one must participate. Yulia really liked that because at other schools she attended, the teachers didn’t ask her questions and she didn’t give enough input into the lesson. That meant she didn’t grow like she did here at QSI.
