CAE Test

“Studied with them for like one month or so then got over 80 band scores for all in PTE. Undoubtedly one of the few best quality PTE coaching schools for the cheapest price in Sydney. My special thanks to Samana, the best PTE tutor I’ve ever met (though may not necessarily be the best English expert).”  Elliot Tian (PTE 3-Week Weeknight Course (Monday, Wednesday & Friday) – starting on 27 June 2019) 

“I am extremely grateful for all the tips and training received in the class. Some of the tips given were major contributors in assisting me to get a high score. The classes were very interactive. Will certainly recommend the classes to my friends” . Prasanjit Das (PTE 3-Week Weeknight Course (Monday, Wednesday & Friday) – starting on 06 June 2019) 

“I can’t thank the teachers in PTE course enough! I took the 3-week PTE course and achieved 79+ score. Before this, I got only 58 in speaking even after reading books and tips online. I was really happy that I got 82 at speaking after a very short time preparing. I highly recommend the 3-week programme before taking PTE as the teachers give you a lot of advice on how to answer the questions to score high in the test. If you have taken PTE before, please bring the score report and they can tell you which skills and questions to improve. This is the benefit I love the most in the PTE course. The teachers are very patient in helping me work out the my best test-taking strategy, not some generic tips and tricks I usually see online. Ivan was my speaking teacher and he taught me a lot. Samana was so helpful with many resources to practice speaking and listening. The pace of the class is just right even though I studied and worked part time. Choosing 3-day-per-week course is my best decision as its intensity and focus are necessary to score high in PTE. My only advice for anyone to get the most out of class is to have a good foundation of English before taking the class.” Nguyen Thanh Trung (PTE 3-week Weeknight Course (Mon, Wed and Fri) – Started from 5 March 2019)

“Thank you for your help, Samana. I scored well in all bands. I did exactly what you taught us in class. Very happy. Now I can apply for my registration.” Yem Kumari Thapa (PTE 1-week express Course started from February 26, 2019)

“Hey Ivan, I was in your last 3 Wednesday night speaking classes. Just wanted to thank you. The classes definitely made a difference. I took the exam on Saturday and got 79+ in each component.  Thanks heaps.” Leeksha Urvashi Devat (PTE 3-Week Weeknight course) Test on 27 January 2019

“I did a 2 hour tutoring class with you last Thursday, don’t know if you remember me, Brazilian guy that only wanted to study speaking. Results for the test just came in, I got the score. I know it was only a quick class, but your inputs were fundamental to my success. I would like to thank your for you time and help. You’re doing a great job, keep it up and you will help a lot of people. Wish you well and all the success that you deserve in your endeavors.” Ivo Veloso Gomes (PTE one-to-one tutorial)

“Hi SLS, I’m very happy with my PTE results. I enjoyed the three days express course which was really helpful.” Cathy Xu (PTE 1-Week Express Course, 30 January 2018) test on 30 January 2019

“Hi Team, I was facing issues in getting 79 points for speaking in PTE, but SLS proved to be a problem solver. They gave good tips that were very helpful and helped me achieve my desired score. Good and friendly staff. Would highly recommend them. I would like to thank all the 3 lecturers and especially Mayra. Thank you for your support!” Adeeba (PTE 3-Week Weeknight course) Test on 5 October 2018

Hope you can help more people to fulfil their Australian dream. All the best! Again, Thank you very much!” Abegail Bartolome (PTE 3-Week Afternoon course) Test on 31 March 2018
