Leveraging English Skills to Become a London Expat

I've been with Giken Manufacturing Co., overseeing a department focused on academia, and my journey with ELT has been transformative. Starting with a meagre TOEIC score of 300, the tailored lessons from ELT's native-speaking instructors, all well-versed in grammar and pedagogy, helped boost my score to 800. This newfound proficiency allowed me to author a full paper in English and present at an international conference on geotechnical engineering, where I received the Best Presentation Award. My work now benefits from my ability to operate in both Japanese and English, doubling my effectiveness. I highly recommend ELT to any professional eager to genuinely enhance their English skills; the results can truly redefine your professional capabilities.

Both of My Children Were Accepted into Prestigious UK Schools

After relocating to the UK with my husband and two young daughters, I realized the necessity for proficient English skills due to upcoming school examinations. We joined ELT to address this, starting from the basics with Brian from ELT, who tailored the lessons progressively to match their growing proficiency. This engaging approach not only made learning enjoyable but also effectively prepared my daughters for their exams. They succeeded in gaining admission to South Hampstead High School, one of the oldest schools for girls in the UK known for its prestigious reputation. ELT's targeted test preparation using well-analyzed past papers significantly boosted their performance. As a parent, I appreciated ELT’s approach that caters to both the basic and advanced needs of its students, making it ideal for parents who wish their children to acquire authentic, high-quality English skills.
