    The speaking test allows the instructor to:
  • Confirm that your level is suitable for a 7.0+ preparation group
  • Identify your strengths and areas to improve
  • Place you in a group where all students benefit from a similar level and pace.
    This helps keep groups balanced and effective.

  • Need to understand their current band level and next steps

    You do not need to be enrolled in a group course to use these services.

    Please note that these evaluations are not official IELTS exams. They are professional assessments based on IELTS band descriptors and examiner-style criteria.
    There is also an additional group class available called Grammar for IELTS and Communication as a separate bi-weekly class.
  • All students are expected to attend each class to ensure proper progress and goal achievement.
    There are no make-up classes in case of missed class.
