I found the [Transitioning Successfully for University] workshop very effective in giving our students a real sense of their special identity as well as how to fit in to a mono-cultural setting. Tina’s expertise can greatly benefit our students and ensure they go to university with a much better idea of the challenges ahead beyond the academics. I am fully convinced of the utility of this course.

One of the great things about Tina’s workshops is her way of connecting with students . She makes it a safe environment for them to share, learn and leave feeling like they are not alone, they are going to be successful, and there are plenty of resources to help them. From her personal experience, she understands all the issues that students might face as they transition to new environments and gives them tools and tips for when they encounter some of these transitional issues.

I wish someone had come to my classroom when I was in high school to talk with us about TCK re-entry issues. It would have saved me years of suffering.

I wish I had known about this seminar before I made the transition. It would definitely have helped me understand the adjustment reactions I went through and made it easier.

• Brings certain issues to my attention and provides ideas and resources that might help [in my university transition].
• Opened me up to things which wouldn’t have caught my attention otherwise and can help me in the future.
• It put words on my fears and helped me overcome them.
• The fact that there was a seminar on the way I felt told me that what I am feeling is normal.

International School of Geneva students’ comments from the ‘Transitioning Successfully University’ seminar

Tina Quick has engaged students from around the world in lively and stimulating discussions about the challenges of international relocation and transition. With clarity, candor, and humor she expertly draws upon her 15 years as an expatriate to present vivid examples of situations one might encounter, and offers valuable guidelines to prepare for and deal with life in different cultures.

At every age, we experience transitions- this seminar is beneficial to everyone at any stage of life. Every high school student NEEDS this course to graduate, but they won't realize it until they are millions of miles from home."
