Student Stories

What our students say

Kunal Bhargava

Platinum · Band 8.0

“Platinum is intense: daily one-to-one sessions for a few weeks. My trainer identified that I lose marks on True/False/Not Given and on Task 1 overviews, and we fixed only those. Overall 8 in three weeks.”

Mehak Sethi

Platinum · Band 7.5

“I had a visa deadline and no time for a batch course. Personal sessions every day with homework checked the same evening kept me on track. I got the 7.5 with a week to spare.”

Aditya Ranganathan

Platinum · Band 8.0

“The trainer treated it like coaching for a competition. Timed drills, immediate correction, and a mock every second day. Nothing was theoretical. I went from 7 to 8 in under a month.”

Nazia Parveen

Platinum · Band 7.0

“I was scared of the Speaking test above everything else. With daily one-to-one practice the fear went away in the first week itself, and by the exam I was actually enjoying the conversation.”

Siddharth Joshi

Platinum · Band 7.5

“Short, personal and very focused. My trainer pointed out that my essays were long but off-topic, and taught me to answer the question asked. Writing jumped a full band in two weeks.”

Bhavya Krishnan

Platinum · Band 8.0

“If you have the basics and need a quick, sharp finish before the test, this is the one. Every session was mine alone and every minute went into my specific errors. Cleared 8 overall for Australia.”
