“I’ve been playing the world tour since 2014 and the fact that I couldn’t understand things during the technical conference quite well, or even some players’ questions, has always bothered me. What truly made me the most nervous was when it was time to give an interview due to these issues.

I already had some notion of the language and was able to “get by”, but I believe that a professional player has to be able to express himself before, during, and after a match.

When I started studying with TBS I felt more confident to give an interview, talk to my foreign friends and not depend on anyone to understand information ".

“I wanted to get a doctoral scholarship at a university in the United States, and in order to do that, I needed to take the TOEFL test.

TIEBREAK SCHOOL met my needs perfectly, with quality and super attentive professionals who prepared an appropriate study plan. Classes were very pleasant and, mainly, efficient. I passed the TOEFL test and this way I was able to apply for the scholarship."
