"Good IELTS preparation course."

Sylvester Manlangit, student from Australia

The classes were good because they fit well with my schedule which is after I finish with my work. The school is located in the city, which is a big plus, although parking is limited. They don't have exclusive parking area for students. The teacher and facilities have good because they fit to my liking.
