There’s no doubt that cultural differences make success harder for international people working in the US. In a recent study, 67% of foreign born workers said they felt uncomfortable with small talk and casual communication with American their colleagues.
If you feel shy and unsure how to interact socially with teammates, Omni can help.
Kevin taught me that I could achieve more than what I thought I could. And he encouraged me to apply to several different fashion schools, including FIDM. He showed me the correct way to write the application essay, which was key in getting me accepted by the admissions board at FIDM!

FIDM Graduate
I’m an international student from Taiwan and studying for a Master’s degree in Sculpture at Academy of Art University. My English skills were not even on the average level before we started classes, and I could only barely keep myself alive in school. Kevin has been giving me a lot of advice and helps to improve my English skills. He also was very helpful in passing the Midpoint Review. We’ve been training my grammar, writing skill, pronunciation, accent, time management, and future career and work development in our class. Kevin has not only helped me to improve my English, but also taught me to integrate into American culture, and helped me to have ability to find a good job in the future. Now I can communicate with native speakers very naturally, and I can write essays that impress the instructor. All in all, if you want to improve your English skills and also try to find a job in the U.S, Kevin is the best option you have

I’m a master degree student in VFX at Academy of Art University. I’ve been studying with Kevin since 2017. When I first met Kevin, I couldn’t speak a complete sentence in English at all, but now I can talk with native speakers very comfortably. I believe these two points are the most important things for all international students. Kevin conducted a series of courses that were exclusively for me. Now, we are focused on how to network, impress professional people and learn American interview skills. Especially if you are from Asia, Korea, Japan, etc., and you also really want to get an education and a good job here.

Kevin supported me to improve my papers’ academic structure and also how to better support my arguments and make my points clearer. He has a background in university and graduate school and understands how professors think and what they want! Moreover, he helped me with my resumé and prepared me for job interviews. Thanks to him, I finished my M.A. with great grades, and I got the job I wanted. Highly recommended!
