David Game College

Roshan Xavier - now studying Medicine at St. John's College, Cambridge

I had just finished my year 10 exams in the state of Kerala in India when my father surprised me by offering the opportunity to study in Britain. I was not aware what to expect, as I had never been exposed to a different style of education or culture before. David Game proved to be a cauldron of a variety of cultures, giving me the chance to mix with people from different parts of the world. The College equipped me with all the necessary facilities and teaching to enable me to succeed in my A Level exams, it also provided valuable guidance and interview practice while I was pursuing a place at medical school. I will always look back at these years I spent in London fondly.  

Roshan's examination record throughout his two years at David Game College was truly remarkable. His unit scores were as follows:

Biology: 1: 90/100 2: 100/100 3: 94/100; 4: 100/100; 5: 100/100; 6: 84/100

Chemistry: 1:90/90; 2: 87/90; 3: 110/120; 4: 84/90; 5: 90/90; 6: 110/120

Mathematics (%): C1 99; C2 100; C3 100; C4 96; M1 100; S1 100

Physics: 1: 90/90; 2: 90/90; 3: 120/120

Hence A level grades: Biology A, Chemistry A. Mathematics A plus AS level grade A in Physics.

I came to David Game seeking guidance and inspiration after having had a bad experience at my old college. The teachers at David Game not only understood my ambitions but they made these ambitions their own. David Game provided me with the best environment to study. The teachers and staff were very helpful and were always willing to help me through any problems. David Game provided me with the best platform for my further education at university and it is because of their guidance and help I am now a pre-medical student in America. If you are willing to work hard and are looking for an education institution which can nurture your dreams, David Game is the place to be.

Hi, I am Shahneela and I have just completed my A levels. David Game is a wonderful place to study in and a great platform to gain entrance to a UK university. It helped me adapt to a culture and lifestyle which is different from my own country, Bangladesh. The teachers are great, and I have gained alot of support from them, especially from Dr Bhutta, Mr Kahn and Miss Maguire. I made many friends in the College and was able to learn a lot about different countries and cultures. Even though I was quite apprehensive about coming to a new college and that too in a new country as I had never changed schools before, coming to David Game was a decision I am glad I made and now I am leaving the college with many fond memories.

Klisman Murati – GCSE

My name’s Klisman – I moved to London from Ireland in August 2006 and joined David Game College as I was told by a relative that it’s a very good College as it offers a wide range of subject choices and the teachers and staff are very helpful, so I decided to try it out. I found that she was right; DG is a really good College, very friendly and lively – transport is no problem with Notting Hill Gate tube just a few seconds away. I am enjoying myself here and doing well – since being here I have discovered many different options and it has opened my eyes to lots of opportunities for my future.

When I first came to David Game College, I didn’t have any expectations after  having bad experience from my previous college. However, I  gradually found that  the teaching was excellent and everyone here seemed very friendly, kind and helpful. I took Maths, Physics and Economics in my A2 year. The teachers made the  subjects very interesting and inspiring, especially my Physics teacher Taj Bhutta  and my Economics teacher Mr Sherman whose personality and teaching  were unforgettable. I have also made a lot of good friends from all over the  world. After one and half years study at David Game, I was confident enough to  continue my higher education in one of the leading universities in the UK. Now  when I look back at my expereince at David Game College, I will  definitely say that I made a great choice for myself. 

Gregori Bosi, Brazilian - English as a Foreign Language

I was in university in Brazil, but I decided to take a break to improve my English. I have been studying English since I was ten years old, but there is nothing like living in a place where you are constantly surrounded by the language you wish to learn. I studied English as a Foreign Language and I can definitely say that my skills have improved a lot. My teacher was more than just a teacher, which contributed to making the classes even more pleasant, and I made great friends in the classroom. After I finished my classes I took the Cambridge Advanced Exam, for which I am still awaiting the results. It's a shame I didn't pick up the British accent, but I can say I had an amazing time there.

Antonino Costa, Angolan - A Level

When I first heard about David Game College, I was still in my home country, Angola. By the name, I imagined a big campus college, but when I got here, it was different. Nonetheless, it failed to disappoint me. I've made strong friendship bonds with a lot of people which I never imagined meeting - people from different countries with different cultures, but with the same views in life that I had. The teachers are very good at their job; they explain their subjects very well and show interest in making you progress. David Game staff have always been helpful and some of them I now consider good friends. I am the third member of my family to come to David Game, after my sister and cousin finished last year. This year I complete my A Levels, together with another sister of mine and a childhood friend, who also decided to join. As we all enjoyed our time in David Game, I would advise anyone that has the thought of joining to join, as I believe that the time spent in this institution will make a very nice experience in which you will learn and grow.

Nikzad Oraee - A Level

I had no idea whatsoever what studying in London would be like. I was, therefore, very nervous about this change. When I came to David Game College though, I realised that not everything is as disciplined here in the UK as people may immediately think of it as being. In fact, the atmosphere here, in DG, is very calm and relaxed; this, I believe, is only because of the lovely staff who have helped to keep it that way. Teachers have been a great source of inspiration and motivation towards studying. They have offered help, whenever I felt the need, and they have been very friendly all the way through. I have made many good friends here in DG, mostly from a variety of backgrounds and nationalities (after all, this is London!). I guess this is what mostly has been the driving force behind my attitude towards the College and studying, throughout these two years. The two years which I have spent in DG have, without a doubt, been two of my best years. I have had many great times in DG, none of which I am willing to exchange for anything else!

Aiperi Dalbaeva - A-Level

Since I was a child my parents wanted me to study in the UK and now I’m here. First, I went to Bristol and studied there for a few months but then I decided to move to London. Fortunately, I came across DG College through the Internet. I have been studying A-Levels in Physics, Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Economics. My approach is to gain knowledge and be a well-educated young lady! The degree I would like to study at university is Civil Engineering. Although some parts of the subjects I took were very tough, I have managed to sit all the exams successfully and hopefully I will enter my first choice university. In my mind, this is due to the teachers; they were very helpful and supportive, especially my Physics teacher Taj Bhutta. Although one might at first find him very strict and the subject very hard, it has been a very interesting experience.

Management with Accounting -Undergraduate Year 3

The one and half years spent in David Game College were one of the most memorable parts of my life abroad. Now, I am in university and I do miss the days in David Game College. David Game College is a place with friendly staff and great teachers. Teachers in David Game College are very professional and know well what is best for students. During my studies there, the subject I enjoyed most was Economics, many thanks to Matthew Sherman! He is probably the best teacher I have ever come across. In David Game College, I have made many good friends with which I keep in close contact. I am really glad that I chose David Game College to do my A Levels. I had an amazing time there. David Game College is definitely one of my top recommendations for a place to study!

Maryam Alband

Hi, My name is Maryam and I have just completed my A-levels.

The past two years at David Game, have been excellent.

David Game is a wonderful place where students are encouraged to excel and no effort is spared in helping you as a student. The high standards of teaching combined with small class sizes mean that all students have the potential to achieve their goals. The teachers are very helpful and friendly and as students we always felt able to approach them with any problems. They were not only supportive, but also taught us many valuable life lessons. I made many friends from a variety of backgrounds and also got the opportunity to learn about different cultures. The college provided me with the best platform for my further education in university and that is something that I will always be grateful for. After two years at David Game, I can honestly say that I had an amazing time here and I will really miss the environment once I leave.”

The teachers in DG College were nice and helpful. They gave students advice on choosing subjects and explained the material very well in the class. It enhanced my further study in the university. I also made lots of good friends in the class, with whom I have been keeping contact.

Qi Qi Fan – A Level 2006- 2007

Imperial College, 2nd  year  in Physics.

The most outstanding A-level results. David Game Scholarship Award 2007.

The staff at David Game have been very friendly to me. Any time I got a problem academically or in my daily life, I could always have a friend-to-friend communication with them and they have always been willing to try their best to help out. Being an international student here for one and half years, I had made a great progress in my English studies and successfully grasped A-level materials in double maths and physics area. Now I am enjoying myself in Imperial College, one of the best institutions in UK and still keeping in touch with my old friends and teachers.

Nima Naghdi– A Level 2005-2007

Hi, I’m Nima, studying A Level Mathematics, Physics and ICT. I’m originally Iranian, but born and raised in London. After completing my GCSEs, I felt that David Game would be a great change of scenery due to its vibrant and lively atmosphere. Soon after joining the College, I felt more mature and responsible as an individual. The teachers and staff are always cheerful, helpful and easy to approach. I’ve had so many highs and lows, successes and challenges whilst at DG, and I can’t think of a better place in which to have experienced them.
