Germany was full of opportunities, and I grabbed them. Knowing German helped me fit into German society.
My story starts in Sylhet, Bangladesh, where I was born in 1993. I grew up in a caring family. My childhood was normal, with some happy times and learning experiences. Most of my early life was in Sylhet, and it helped shape my dreams for the future. In school, I wasn't the top student, but I had big dreams. These weren't just daydreams; they were the start of a plan that would take me far from home.
When I went from high school to college between 2009 and 2011, my goals became clearer. College was about studying hard and dreaming about seeing the world beyond Bangladesh. It was exciting but tough. It was hard because I needed more information or help about studying abroad. But this time, I showed how determined and strong I was, qualities that led me on an amazing journey.
The next part of my life started when I decided to leave my hometown. After finishing my higher secondary education, I moved to Dhaka to get ready for this big step. I knew speaking English well was important, so I worked hard at it. I started with a 5.5 score in IELTS and improved it to 6.5. I also began learning German, knowing it would be key to reaching my big dream: going to Germany.
In December 2012, I arrived in Germany feeling excited, homesick, and determined. When I first got to Berlin, it was a whole new world for me. My first meal was simple: bread and a banana, marking the start of my journey in a new place. The next morning, I saw snow for the first time. It wasn't just the weather; it was a sign of new challenges and adventures. Getting a SIM card and other basics were my first small victories in this new chapter.
Germany was full of opportunities, and I grabbed them. Knowing German helped me fit into German society. I passed the C1 level in German in just nine months. This helped me get into Osnabrück University for my Bachelor's degree, where I did well in my studies and made friends. Being good at German gave me an edge over other international students.
I started my work life in Germany at Minded, where I was the only non-German among twenty employees. This job was more than work; it was a chance to learn about different cultures and grow personally. I had great times in Germany, thanks to my friendly colleagues. Working at Minded wasn't just about earning money; it was a key part of my journey, helping me understand the German work culture and improve my skills in dealing with people from different cultures.

I began making YouTube videos for fun eight years ago. But soon, it became a big part of my life. My first video was simple, but it opened a way for me to share useful information with others. My YouTube channel name StudyFirstInfo became a place for people to learn about studying in Germany and the German language. The channel grew a lot, with 233K subscribers and about 700 videos. My videos, from German language lessons to tips on studying in Germany, are popular. I always wanted to share what I know, and my YouTube channel shows that. It's more than just videos; it's a global learning community and a virtual classroom.
My move from Sylhet to Germany shows how important education and adaptability are. As a German language tutor, I make my lessons clear and include cultural insights from my own experiences. Through my YouTube channel and student advisory services, I help people understand the challenges of studying abroad. I also help with job hunting and preparing for interviews, giving advice and strategies to advance careers. My approach in these areas is to share knowledge and give people the confidence and skills they need for success in school and work.
In 2016, I had a great chance to work with the German language department at Osnabrück University. I helped international students learn German. This experience showed me the difficulties many Bangladeshi students face because of language barriers. To help, I started teaching German online in 2017. Since then, over 500 students have learned from me, and I now work with two native German teachers to make the lessons even better.
My time studying in Germany was full of big achievements. After mastering German to the C1 level and completing a foundation course, I got my Bachelor's in Computer Science in 2015 at Osnabrück. The city was full of international students, which was great for learning about different cultures and working together on studies.
Because I know what it's like to study in Germany, I started helping Bangladeshi students understand how to study there. Germany is known for having no tuition fees and opportunities like the DAAD scholarship. I also help students who don't have IELTS. I set up a student recruitment agency, Study First Info, to help students get visas for countries like Germany, Hungary, Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands.
In 2017, I began helping skilled people from Bangladesh find jobs abroad. My first success was helping a friend get a job in Germany with an EU Blue Card Visa. There's a big demand for skilled workers in Europe, so my partners and I created Sunday Job, a website that helps people find jobs in Europe.
I know how important interviews are for getting visas, whether for studying or working. I offer full preparation, including over 200 practice questions and mock interviews. This helps my clients feel confident and ready. I've helped nearly 500 people this way, with a success rate of over 95%.
I also help people get visit visas to Europe, Canada, or Asia. My team makes sure our clients have all the support they need. My life in Europe has been about learning new things, keeping my Bangladeshi roots, and fitting into European life. This mix of Eastern and Western experiences has helped me grow a lot, both personally and professionally.
My journey, starting from my humble beginnings in Sylhet to my achievements in Germany, is a testament to the power of determination and adaptability. Throughout this path, I've dedicated myself to guiding others. Whether it's through my YouTube channel, German language tutoring, student consulting, or job-hunting consultancy services, my focus has always been to empower and assist. My experiences have shaped services that not only help navigate academic and professional landscapes but also bridge cultural gaps. It's about offering a helping hand to those dreaming big and working hard, just like I did.
