Course description

International employers and universities often require TOEFL or IELTS scores for admission. The TOEFL and IELTS Test-Preparation courses help students build the skills, techniques and knowledge needed to succeed in these exams. The IETLS and TOEFL supplementary courses consist of 20 lessons of general English classes -- the building blocks for high scores -- 7 lessons of structured independent study, and 8 lessons of Exam Preparation lessons each week.

Course topics

Teachers trained in test-preparation instruction will strengthen students' English and test-taking skills so that they can score higher on their exams. Test strategies are taught in class, and practice tests and vocabulary are built in class time, to improve each student's skills.

"One of my the best experiences I had."

Sebastian Saul, student from Germany

Kaplan International was a very organized place. Professional but also very fun. I had a good time and enjoyed every lessons with my teacher Brad. There are also many activities for the week, which is nice. The best part tho is that you meet so many nice students at the school from around the world and have a lot of fun.

For me the school was all in all perfect but my housing was not that good. I lived to far away and the hosts were very strict and had cameras all over the place and spied on me and other students during meal etc. Some of the people I met in school had an appartement, which is way nicer than staying in a home stay.

"It was an amazing experience"

Adiaris Williams-Rodriguez, student from Cayman Islands

I really enjoyed being part of the Kaplan students, from the very first day, which was very informative and well organized, I felt welcome. The school staff, teachers and volunteers were very helpful. The teachers are very professional and they are very well prepared. The school is located in a very convenient place that allows us to visit tourist areas and also very close to the public transport. I also had the opportunity to stay in the new residence which is very close to the school as well as other places such as supermarket, malls restaurant, cinema and so on. This trip also allowed me to visit the French Canada, Niagara falls, and participate in many other activities organized by the school. in conclusion, it is not just a place where you can learn or improve the language, but also where you interact with people from many other countries with different cultures.
