Mindset Matters

Took placeDecember 14, 20258:00 AM - 2:15 PM (GMT+5)
LocationFergana, Farg‘ona, Uzbekistan
FormatYouth
Mindset quietly shapes how we see ourselves, our opportunities, and the world around us. When we begin questioning old beliefs and approach challenges with a clearer, more open mind, new possibilities naturally start to appear. “Mindset Matters” is about recognizing that the first step toward progress — whether personal or societal — begins in how we think. This TEDx event brings together voices and ideas that help us rethink, reset, and move forward with a stronger, healthier perspective.

  • Abrorjon Baydullaev

    SAT tutor

    Currently I am finishing my Bachelor's degree at Fergana state University, majoring in Economics. I have been teaching since was 14. For the last four years, I have been helping students prepare for the SAT and college application. Now, I have students with 1500+ SAT scores studying at Top universities all around the world.

  • Akbarshoh Salaydinov

    Rahimov School student

    I used to be a shy and insecure kid growing up. I barely talked to anyone, isolating myself from my surroundings. Getting older, I realized that the world rewards those who are willing to speak up, step out of their comfort zone, and turn weaknesses into strengths. That's what I continue doing. And I'm ready to share my story with those having the same struggles through presentations and speeches. I believe TEDx is the best platform to do it.

  • Gulasal Ibragimova

    Founder of Unity Language Academy

    I am an educator and founder of Unity Language Academy. I hold a master’s degree in TEFL from a U.S. university, after completing my studies in both the United Kingdom and the United States. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business with minors in Accounting and Economics. My work focuses on developing high-quality learning materials, organizing teacher workshops, and supporting students in improving their English proficiency and critical-thinking skills. I am committed to advancing education and fostering meaningful, practice-oriented learning experiences.

  • Gulnoza Nosirova

    student in Rahimov school

    I am Gulnoza one of the new students at Rahimov School. I am just a girl from a typical background who has always wanted to change the world. I am insatiably curious about everything, from Rubik's cubes to primordial black holes. Among the subjects that fuel my curiosity, English stands out the most. This passion has opened up meaningful opportunities for me, including winning city and regional Olympiads and earning a fully funded government scholarship to London. I used English to build bridges across countries. Now I want to learn the language that connects everything and everyone. Language of nature, we’ve just forgotten how to speak it.

  • Ibrohimjon Ergashev

    Industrial engineering student in CAU with a full scholarship

    I graduated from Secondary School No. 36. I have work experience as an SAT mentor. Currently, I am pursuing my undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering at CAU. I have a passion for learning new topics and integrating them into both my personal life and my field, engineering.

  • Muhammad Avazjon

    Operations manager in Rahimov school

    First of all, I should mention that I'm just an ordinary guy who loves exploring himself. Character. Intrinsic passions. Ego. When it comes to telling about achievements, I would consider I have achieved the little of my potential achievements yet. So in one word, I'm a learner.

  • Nigoraxon Usmonova

    School educator

    I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature from Fergana State University and a master’s in AI Business from SMIT (Seoul, South Korea). I specialize in teaching young and adult English learners. An honored candidate from Uzbekistan selected to deliver the valedictory speech at SMIT. A passionate reader and an ambitious writer.

  • Paul Rowbotham

    Academic director and math teacher at Fergana Presidential School

    I would consider myself an entrepreneur first before being an academic. I have a degree in engineering and a UK teaching qualification. I've taught for 33 years in both primary and secondary and currently provide training for teachers. I am also the Academic Director at Fergana Presidential School. I have worked for Cambridge University for the last 10 years as an educational consultant, looking at mathematics in over 20 countries. But my passion is always for the development of young people. I wrote a fiction book in 2016 to explore emotional intelligence and created a project 'reading4life' based on it, which was delivered in serveral schools. I love offline chess, doing puzzles and playing various board games.
