Course Review

Kent is hands down the best English teacher I've ever had. He has a great way of explaining things that are clear and easy to follow. I appreciated Kent's ability to identify what I had to focus on and then give me personalized advice. He helped me learn my strengths and weaknesses and provided me with improvement strategies. I felt more confident in the CELPIP test. And I got a fantastic score! Honestly, I can't recommend Kent's CELPIP classes enough. If you want to improve your skills before your exam, his classes are for you. Thanks, Kent!

CELPIP Course Review - Filbert raised his scores to CELPIP Level 10

Filbert, Manager

Moncton, NB

I took one-on-one CELPIP prep sessions with Kent, and I’m really happy I did. His teaching style is clear, organized, and simple to follow, which helped me quickly understand the strategies needed for the actual test. In our sessions, I focused mostly on improving my reading and writing skills, targeting CLB 10 or higher. After just four classes, I noticed a big improvement in my confidence and ability to do the test tasks more effectively. He was very supportive and always made sure I fully understood everything. His practical tips and step-by-step approach made a big difference. I highly recommend Kent to anyone who’s looking for a dedicated and effective CELPIP tutor. Thank you, Kent!

I had my CELPIP preparation course with Kent, and I couldn’t be happier! The group classes covered all four skills: writing, reading, listening, and speaking with a clear structure to follow, practical tips which were easy to remember, and guidance that truly builds your confidence for the test. The private classes were incredibly helpful too! I really appreciate how he takes time to give tailored feedback on my weaknesses, pushing me to get better, especially in my writing and speaking skills. Thanks to his classes, I reached Reading 9, Listening 9, Speaking 10, and Writing 10 on my CELPIP exam! If you don’t want to waste your money and time, I highly recommend taking this preparation. Thank you, Kent, for all your help!! :)

I had the 8-hour CELPIP preparation course. Kent, who was my teacher, has excellent teaching skills. He helped me improve my spelling, grammar and fix my pronunciation errors. I always had difficulty pronouncing TH, and with his help I finally managed to do it. I reached a score of 10 on the writing exam and a final average of 8. This will definitely be of great help in my Express Entry process for immigrating to Canada.

How We Help Students Achieve Their Target CELPIP Levels

5 Main Steps

Here are the 5 main steps we use to help our students achieve their target CELPIP levels in the speaking, writing, reading and listening sections of test :)

  • Understand the Test

Understanding the test is always step one to achieving your CELPIP scores. All of our group and private courses give you a total introduction to the CELPIP test in the writing, speaking, reading and listening sections. ​For Reading and Listening, we show you the way the test is designed and the types of questions you'll get. For Writing and Speaking, we show you the types of tasks you will need to do and what you are expected to write and speak about.

  • Get Good Strategies

Having good strategies are also essential to pass. For Reading and Listening, you need to learn how to identify all the correct answers and the answers which are not correct. For Writing and Speaking, you need to know how to develop and organize your answers the way CELPIP wants. We teach you these strategies for all these skills in simple, step-by-step lessons so you'll know exactly what to do in each section after every class is finished.

  • Get Feedback

Most people need some feedback on their Writing and Speaking in order to reach their target CELPIP levels. 90% of people taking the test are not native speakers, so it's even more important to get your answers, organization, vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, fluency, intonation and pronunciation checked. If you don't you will get stuck at one level, waste a lot of time and money and stress yourself out. But, we also show you what you're doing well. It's important to hear those things as well. It's never as bad as you think ;)

  • Learn TO Self-study

One of the best ways to reach your targets is to learn how to self-study. Improving vocabulary for Reading and Listening absolutely raises scores when done in the right way. Also, identifying your mistakes and knowing how to fix them in Writing and Speaking are also essential if you want to improve. Our group and private courses show you how to self-study so you can continue to improve at home in your free time. 

  • Practice Regularly

Nobody improves without practice. Once you understand the test, have good strategies, get feedback and learn how to self-study, the only thing left is for you to practice, practice, practice. This is the last piece of the puzzle. We will help you with steps 1-4, but the step 5 is up to you ;)
