Student Stories
What our students say
Saba Khan
IELTS Academic
“I made the best decision when I joined NIL for my IELTS preparation. I tried earlier as well, but could not get a score better than 6.0. I thank my trainers and the team of NIL for making my dream come true.”
Vikrant Solanki
IELTS Foundation · Band 6.5
“My English was basic when I started and I was nervous about a full IELTS course. Foundation started with grammar and sentence building before touching the test at all, which is exactly what I needed. Reached 6.5 from a 5 on the diagnostic.”
Priyanka Rawat
IELTS Foundation · Band 6.5
“The trainers never made me feel bad for asking basic questions. Vocabulary was taught in themes that come up in the test, and I could see my Writing improve week by week in the corrected copies they sent back.”
Manoj Yadav
IELTS Foundation · Band 6.0
“I needed a 6 for my college application and had no idea how the test worked. Foundation explained the format slowly, gave a lot of practice for Listening, and the mocks at the end matched the real exam almost exactly.”
Ayesha Siddiqui
IELTS Foundation · Band 7.0
“I chose Foundation because I wanted a strong base rather than shortcuts. The speaking sessions were relaxed and the trainer corrected pronunciation patiently. I ended up with a 7, which was above my target.”
Deepak Nair
IELTS Foundation · Band 6.5
“Good option for anyone restarting English after a long gap. Classes were live and interactive, the study material was simple, and the weekly tests kept me honest about how much I was actually practising.”
