Jorge is a recently admitted international graduate student with a research interest in theoretical physics at UNC. At the start of her first semester, she enrolled in a mandatory course. However, she quickly realized that she was struggling to comprehend the lecture material and wasn’t actively engaging in class discussions. She felt overwhelmed and didn’t know what steps to take next.

For her first presentation in the course, Jorge was determined to perform at her highest level and deliver an exceptional presentation. To achieve this, she dedicated long hours to extensive research, striving to deepen her understanding of the topic at hand.

Despite her hard work, Jorge still struggled to effectively present the material, and she lacked confidence in her delivery. As a result, her professor and peers had difficulty understanding her message.

A few days later, Jorge received the score for her first presentation, and unfortunately, she had only just passed. This was a major disappointment for Jorge, leaving her feeling frustrated and disheartened. She began to question her decision to pursue her studies at UNC, wondering if she was capable of achieving her goals.

At this point, Jorge realized that she needed additional support to improve her academic performance. Fortunately, she learned about GradLingo, an app highly recommended by a senior international student. Intrigued by the prospect of enhancing her language skills and academic performance, Jorge decided to give it a try.

In addition to the recommendation from her senior, Jorge also received an email from International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), which listed several apps that could assist her with her studies, including GradLingo. Eager to improve her academic performance, Jorge wasted no time in downloading the app onto both her laptop and mobile phone.

Jorge was thrilled to discover that, as a college student, she was eligible for free access to GradLingo, which offered a two-year free trial. Excited to get started, she began to explore the various features and functionalities of the app.

With the help of GradLingo, Jorge was able to make significant progress and feel more confident in her abilities. As the semester progressed, Jorge found that she was able to keep up with the course requirements more easily and was even able to contribute meaningfully to class discussions. By the end of the term, she had successfully completed her coursework and felt more prepared to tackle the challenges that lay ahead.
