preparation for the ielts  in astana (Nur-sultan)

Our IELTS preparation program  helps students reach their goal on time, and our students do not waste their money and time. Our teachers have a BA in English from one of the most prestigious universities from the United States or the United Kingdom. We only work with native or near-native English teachers who are certified to teach the IELTS exam. Most of our students study in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, so they need high IELTS scores to be eligible for an admission in colleges and universities well-known for their teaching quality.

 

We have three different IELTS preparation programs in Astana (Nur-Sultan) for both individuals and groups:

• IELTS Preparation for Groups
• IELTS Preparation for Individuals (Private)
• IELTS Preparation (Pre-IELTS)

 

ielts preparation in groups

Students preparing for the IELTS in groups have the opportunity to collaborate with other students who are also preparing for the IELTS. In groups preparing for the exam students can encourage and support each other.  Students preparing for the exam can also find studying in groups productive and efficient if they are easily distracted or if they do not want to work on their own. Our IELTS group preparation also offers more affordable rates than our individual IELTS preparation programs. Students studying in groups study at least three times per week with a highly qualified and experienced native or near-native IELTS instructor holding a BA in English from a prestigious university in the United States of America or the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

 

If you are intemediate level or IELTS 5.0, you may need to do some pre-IELTS  preparation before your actual IELTS preparation  begins. The duration of the preparatory program depends on your academic goals and requirements. A qualified and experienced instructor will be assessing your needs comprehensively  before you start your IELTS preparation.

 

On the other hand, if your IELTS band above a certain level then you can directly start preparing your IELTS preparation without taking any pre-requisites.

 

1) Our IELTS groups are small: two or three students study together, and groups usually study on the days below:

1.1 Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays

1.2 Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday

 

 

IELTS Preaparation: individual (private) lessons

Private IELTS lessons are prepared in accordance with your needs.  If  you have already registered for the IELTS, or are planning to register for your IELTS exam soon, our highly qualified IELTS teachers will develop a study plan with you to focus on the areas that you really need to improve efficiently and effective in a timely manner.

 

Our IELTS preparation offers a personalised and flexible learning environment. Our one-to-one lessons are completely tailored to your needs; choose a topic or skill that you want to improve. If you are unsure, you can get  advice from our qualified and experienced IELTS teachers who have a BA in English from one of the most prestigious universities in the United States of America or the United Kingdom of the Great Britain and Ireland. After every lesson, your IELTS teacher will give you detailed feedback on your overall performance, and he or she will make sure that you stay on track to reach your IELTS goal.

 

 

IELTS preparation: pre-ielts lessons

Students  who are not intermediate or IELTS 5.0 should  attend our pre-IELTS preparation program, and that way they can more efficiently and effectively prepare for the IELTS exam with  other students who have similar needs.
