From self-doubt to applying for a PhD. Today I am talking to one of my former students – Jacob – who enrolled on a master’s course at a London University not knowing much what to expect. He talks about his journey from questioning if he should be pursuing a higher-education diploma, feeling lost to finding the right help and finally, finishing his course with honours.

I would also like to take a moment and congratulate Jacob on his achievement as it is Jacob who put so much time and effort into his degree. I can’t say how grateful I am that he has found time in his busy timetable to jump on my podcast show and share his experience with you 🥰

And if you want to share your thoughts, your insights, your takeaways, or just any ideas that come up—come on over to Instagram. That is where I spend most of my time when it comes to social media. So I’m @myoxfordacademyofenglish on Instagram. Make sure you’re following me. But jump into my DMs and say hello. I’d love to hear from you. 

Enjoy!
