Student Stories

What our students say

Nihal Saxena

IELTS Academic

“Thanks to National Institute of Language, I'm currently studying in one of the best universities in Canada and living my dream. I would highly recommend joining NIL for your IELTS test preparation, if you are serious about it.”

Ishita Malhotra

Diamond · Band 8.0

“Diamond is the full programme with a dedicated trainer, and that combination is what got me to an 8. We covered every section in depth, took weekly full mocks, and reviewed each one together the same day.”

Rahul Bhattacharya

Diamond · Band 7.5

“I needed a high Writing band for my Masters and had failed to get it twice. With Diamond the trainer worked only on me for three months. Writing moved from 6 to 7.5, which I had started to think was impossible.”

Sunita Agarwal

Diamond · Band 7.0

“At 42 I was returning to studies after a long gap and the one-to-one format removed all my hesitation. The trainer adapted the pace to me and never moved ahead until I was comfortable. Got my 7 for Canada.”

Devansh Kapoor

Diamond · Band 8.5

“The most thorough IELTS preparation I could find. Grammar foundation, every question type, examiner-style Speaking mocks and detailed written feedback on more than twenty essays. 8.5 overall.”

Lakshmi Venkatesan

Diamond · Band 7.5

“The sessions were flexible around my hospital shifts and the trainer tracked my progress in a shared sheet so I always knew where I stood. Listening went to 8.5 and I cleared the 7.5 requirement for the UK.”
