What people are saying about this course

“I love that this course provides valuable (and verified) information about so many different paths Africans in Russia can take to reach career success! The interviews are especially interesting and eye-opening. PS: You’ll definitely need a pen and paper.”

Evelyn (5th year Medicine student), Rostov

“The experience was awesome and wholesome. The introduction video made me even more excited and enthusiastic about the course. The instructor made the experience special and memorable. I love the way he poured his all into the course. The interview sessions were also very thoughtful and helpful. Lastly, the course is so comprehensive. It's not just for tech enthusiasts but also for medical students. A big thanks to Guidetryb!”

Johnson (3rd year Mechatronics student), Kazan

“This was an interesting and inspiring course. It was easy to understand, straightforward, and concise. I loved that interviews were conducted with both people who are just starting their career journey and those who are further along. I believe this course will propel you down the right career path.”

Ezinne (MSc Biology Graduate), Moscow

“Going through the Guidetryb course helped me understand some mistakes I made during the process of choosing where to further my studies. I noticed how crucial the language factor is, which I had been ignoring because I find it very hard to write a motivational letter or statement of purpose. One of the things that stood out to me is the importance of choosing the right place to do a PhD, as not all places can truly provide growth opportunities.”

Clesia (MSc Informatics Graduate), Krasnodar

“The course made me realize that there are more opportunities in Russia than I thought. I am encouraged to start taking online courses which will be very helpful for my portfolio aside the knowledge and channel my growth somewhere . It was an eye opener, I'm glad I took time to listen to it. Thank you Guidetryb ❤️”
