As we move into 2024, please be assured that Philinter Academy remains committed to supporting and investing in IELTS, ensuring that our students receive the best possible guidance and resources for their academic and professional pursuits.

Our IELTS 16-week program is specially designed for individuals who are new to IELTS and are aiming to achieve scores of either IELTS 6.5 or 5.5.

Previously, participants in this program had the option to take the IELTS official test. However, starting in November 2023, it will be a mandatory component of the program.

We are pleased to inform you that all test costs associated with the IELTS Official Test will be fully covered by Philinter Academy.

While the majority of our program graduates successfully attain their target IELTS scores, it’s important to note that this course is not offered as a score-guarantee program. Nevertheless, we are committed to providing comprehensive support until you reach your desired score.

Starting in January 2024, we will implement some changes to our class schedules, and there may be tuition adjustments for specific courses.

Here are the key changes:

1. One-on-One Class Reduction: In General ESL and Junior ESL (3 courses), there will be a reduction of one hour in one-on-one classes, with a one-hour increase in small group classes.

2. Smaller Group Class: We are reducing the number of students in small group classes to approximately 3 to 5 individuals. This change aims to enhance the dynamism of speaking and related curriculum.

3. New Light ESL Course: We are introducing a new course – Light ESL, offering 5 hours of classes per day. This course is recommended for those who prefer a more focused and intimate learning experience.

4. Tuition Adjustment: While the tuition for most courses in 2024 will remain consistent with 2023 rates, there will be tuition increases for junior courses (Junior ESL, Junior IELTS, Primary English), and IELTS Guarantee courses.

5. Transitional Rate: If you enroll by December 2023 and commence your studies at Philinter Academy by the end of May 2024, you will be eligible for the current tuition fee before the increase, ensuring that you benefit from the existing tuition rate.

We ask for your understanding and cooperation.
