  • Sujata smiling outdoors in a purple kurta

    IELTS5.5to7.0

    Nursing master's, Australia

    My writing was stuck at 6.0 and I couldn't see why. Sarita ma'am marked 12 of my Task 2 essays and showed me where each argument fell apart. 6 weeks later I had 7.0, enough for my nursing master's.

  • Manoj smiling in a light blue t-shirt

    PTE51to65

    Bachelor's in Australia

    I was stuck at 51 using templates from YouTube. My teacher told me to drop them and fix my fluency and timing in Read Aloud and Retell Lecture instead. 5 weeks later I scored 65.

  • Ankit in a blazer and scarf, smiling outdoors

    TOEFL78to94

    Master's in Germany (English-taught)

    I'd been practising from old TOEFL books, and the test had changed. The class retrained me for the new adaptive Reading and Listening sections. My university asked for 90. I got 94.

Questions about test preparation

Which is the best test preparation in Kathmandu?

Judge any institute on four things: published fees, class size, weekly mock tests under exam conditions, and teachers who share their own real scores. Ours are all on this page and the class pages.

How much do IELTS, PTE and TOEFL classes cost in Kathmandu?

Ours cost Rs 12,500 (IELTS), Rs 14,000 (PTE) and Rs 13,000 (TOEFL) for 6 weeks, with books and mock tests included. Shorter and longer IELTS and PTE options are on the class pages.

Which is easier, IELTS or PTE?

Neither for everyone. PTE suits students who are comfortable on a computer and want fast results; IELTS suits students who'd rather speak to a person or apply to several countries.

Do you have online classes?

No. All our classes are in New Baneshwor, because timed mocks and speaking practice work better in the room.

How long does test preparation take?

Most students take 6 weeks. Our students gained 0.9 band in IELTS, 11 points in PTE and 8 points in TOEFL on average from first mock to real test. The free level test tells you what's realistic for you.
