Oleksandra

Required CELPIP level 9 or higher for permanent residency application.

I chose Kent and this CELPIP training to prepare myself for upcoming CELPIP test and improve my writing and speaking skills. Kent is a really good teacher with a lot of knowledge and positive attitude. I have learned a structure of the test and was instructed how to avoid my common mistakes. I definitely recommend this course to everyone who is going to take on the test. Thank you Kent! I hope to share a photo of my certificate with my desired level soon.

CELPIP Preparation Course Review (Laleh) - Achieved CELPIP Level 9.webp

Laleh, Librarian

My experience with Kent was superb. I received personalized CELPIP private classes and practice to focus on my weakest skills, speaking, and improved it in a handful of sessions. Kent private classes are very effective and highly recommended.

I don’t think I could get such a good result without Kent's classes. He was always very helpful, punctual, and clear with his lessons. Great learning experience and I would absolutely suggest him as a CELPIP preparation teacher.

I had a great experience with CELPIP preparation through Kent. The private classes were exactly what I needed, and Kent is an excellent teacher who provides clear and supportive coaching. I noticed a big improvement in my speaking and writing skills thanks to his training. The lessons were practical, well-structured, and focused on real exam strategies. Thanks to Kent’s support, I gained confidence and achieved great results on my exam. Thank you Kent!!!
