We Go Beyond English

PHILINTER’s differentiation comes from how happy and satisfied our students are.
I'M INTERESTED IN YOUR IELTS PROGRAM, AND I CURRENTLY HAVE A DUOLINGO SCORE OF 105. MY GOAL IS TO ACHIEVE A 7 OR 6.5 IN IELTS. IS THERE A SUITABLE PROGRAM FOR ME?

If your Duolingo score is 105 points, the equivalent IELTS score is between 5.5 and 6 points. At Philinter Academy, we offer a program that can help you achieve an IELTS score of 5.5 to 6 in 8 weeks. However, if you lack basic skills in writing or English grammar, it may take more than 8 weeks to reach a 6.5.
In summary, in your current situation, you will need a minimum of 8 weeks and a maximum of 12 weeks to obtain an IELTS score of 6.5. We will send you the requested price list and brochure via email.

CURRENTLY, I AM A BEGINNER IN ENGLISH, BUT I WANT TO HAVE AN IELTS BAND SCORE OF 6.5. WHAT COURSE SHOULD I CHOOSE AND HOW LONG IS THE STUDY PERIOD?

The answer to this question may vary from person to person.
If you are a beginner in English, it may not be advisable to take the IELTS course right away.

It is recommended to start with an ESL course to build overall English proficiency, which usually takes around 4 – 8 weeks. The Intensive ESL course, operated as a Sparta program, is highly recommended.

Through the Intensive ESL course, you can expect to achieve at least an Upper-elementary level (IELTS 3.0) or higher. This level is considered the minimum requirement for studying IELTS. Then, it typically takes around 8 – 12 weeks to progress from IELTS 3.0 (or 3.5) to 5.5.

To further improve from IELTS 5.5 to 6.5, an additional 12 weeks of study may be needed.

In summary:

  • At the beginner level, it typically takes 4-8 weeks of ESL study.
  • It takes an additional 8-12 weeks to progress from IELTS 3.0 (or 3.5) to 5.5.
  • Achieving IELTS 5.5 to 6.5 may require an additional 12 weeks of study.
  • In conclusion, the total duration from beginner level to IELTS 6.5 is typically 24 to 32 weeks.
  • However, opting for the IELTS score guarantee course can shorten the learning period to 20 to 24 weeks.

FOR WHOM IS IPS TYPICALLY RECOMMENDED?

The IPS (Intensive Power Speaking) course deals with vocabulary, speaking grammar, pronunciation, discussion, public speaking, and conversation.

We recommend IPS (Intensive Power Speaking) for individuals who have a pre-intermediate level of English proficiency and are looking to improve their communication skills for smooth interactions with native speakers. It is also beneficial for those who wish to enhance their conversation skills for travel or business purposes.

The recommended study period is 8 weeks or less. If your study period is more than 12 weeks, it is better to choose IPS as the second half course.

WHAT TEXTBOOKS DO PHILINTER USE?

We maintain a regularly updated list of textbooks for the following courses:

  • ESL (Adult)
  • ESL (Junior, 12-15 yrs.)
  • ESL (Primary, 7-11 yrs.)
  • IELTS
  • TOEIC
  • Business
  • TOEFL
  • Cambridge

Please note that textbooks for certain courses such as IELTS, Business, and Cambridge are only accessible through our PARTNER AGENT. However, the list of textbooks for other courses is open to all.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHOOSE 2 COURSES?

Absolutely! You have the option to choose multiple courses, including 2 or 3 courses.

However, we recommend consulting with us to determine the recommended order of courses and the ideal duration of study based on your individual needs.
