SUCCESS STORIES
Haekal Rinaldi
Ibnu Hajar Boarding School
At first glance I thought to myself that I had the knowledge and skills to be able to take the IELTS exam without having any preparation. However, as soon as I started the ER IELTS preparation program I realised that this was far from the normal english we used to use. so in short is that ER IELTS preparation actually has an impact and benefit to take my english to the next level. The overall experience was smooth and great, they prepared everything for what i need to do when going through the immigration and finalising the documents at the campus, they also guide and brief me from the very start of my dream to study abroad by finding the best and most suitable campuses for me to choose from.
