This course is specifically designed to prepare you for the IELTS exam, focusing on enhancing your English fluency and mastery across all four skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. In each session, we concentrate on practical strategies and exercises that will build your confidence and tailor our teaching to meet your individual goals. This includes targeted practice in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and exam-specific techniques.

Join us for a learning experience that's not just about passing an exam, but also warm, welcoming, and tailored to your success.

and signaling devices; proof–reading/editing work as part of drafts.

Listening: extracting information from texts of varying lengths

conversations; learning what information to look for and what to
exclude.

"I have been getting better"

Ibrahim Sangare, student from France

When I arrived, I did not speak a word in English and I did not understand. Now I can feel more relaxed when I talk and I can understand, but I need to practice to talk well. sometimes I make mistakes but it’s better than the first time. the school is next to a metro station so it’s easy to access. They make us work on all the important points (oral, written, listening) and they give us homework so that we can work at home. I’m very happy with this school

"A very rewarding little experience."

Doria Allal, student from France

The school Speak English Institute is very well located and served by metro and tram.
I really enjoyed the classroom activities set up by the different teachers I met.
Correct installation (Wifi free, coffee, water fountain ...).


Possible things to improve in my opinion would be to organize events to allow students to meet and socialize with the language and to follow up.
