Frequently Asked Questions - Language Preparation

What is the main goal of the Language Preparation packages?

The primary goal is to equip you with the specific English skills needed to meet the entry requirements of Singapore’s universities, such as achieving the typical target scores of at least 6.5 for IELTS or 90 for TOEFL for university admission OR 6.0 for IELTS and 78 for TOEFL for polytechnic admission. Beyond test scores, we aim to build your confidence to thrive in an English-speaking academic environment.

Your custom plan is based on your initial English Diagnostic results. An English Teacher will design a personalized syllabus that focuses on your specific areas of weakness. For example, if you struggle with academic writing, your plan will include targeted exercises and lessons on essay structure, grammar, and vocabulary.

Our English teachers are highly experienced instructors, many of whom have specific expertise in preparing students for high-stakes tests like IELTS and TOEFL. They understand the scoring criteria and common challenges, and are skilled at teaching in a way that is clear and effective for international students.

The mock interviews simulate the speaking components of university admission interviews or tests like IELTS. An experienced instructor will conduct a one-on-one interview with you, asking typical questions in a formal setting. This is crucial for practicing your fluency, pronunciation, and ability to articulate complex ideas under pressure.

You will receive immediate, constructive feedback. The instructor will comment on your fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. They will also provide strategic advice on how to structure your answers more effectively and project more confidence. This targeted feedback is key to rapid improvement.

This test measures your progress after completing your lessons. It allows us to see how much you have improved and identifies any remaining areas that may need a final polish before you take your official exam. It’s a crucial step for ensuring you are fully prepared.

The Basic package is ideal if you are already quite confident and just need a final review and some interview practice. The Standard package is our most popular option for students who need structured lessons and want to track their progress. The Premium package offers the most intensive support for students who need to make significant improvements in their English proficiency.

Absolutely. While the immediate goal is to pass your exams, the skills we teach—such as understanding lectures, writing academic essays, and participating in discussions—are the exact skills you will need every day as a university student in Singapore. We are preparing you for long-term success, not just an exam.

Our diagnostic is not a substitute for official tests like TOEFL or IELTS. Instead, it is a detailed assessment designed to identify your specific strengths and weaknesses in academic English. The results allow us to create a highly personalized preparation plan, so your study time is focused and efficient, maximizing your chances of achieving the required scores for admission into Singapore’s top universities.

It evaluates the four key areas of English proficiency required for academic success: Reading (comprehension of academic texts), Writing (clarity, structure, and grammar in essays), Listening (understanding lectures and discussions), and Speaking (fluency and coherence in academic conversation).

Our assessment is benchmarked against the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the same international standard used by tests like IELTS. This ensures our evaluation of your proficiency level is accurate and relevant to the expectations of higher education institutions.

The diagnostic is conducted by one of our experienced English Teachers who specializes in preparing students for high-stakes academic English tests. They are trained to not only assess your level but also to understand the common challenges faced by Chinese learners.

You will receive a comprehensive report detailing your performance in each skill area. This report will include a clear analysis of your strengths and areas for improvement, along with a recommended number of preparation hours. This forms the basis of your customized Language Preparation package.
