We Go Beyond English

PHILINTER’s differentiation comes from how happy and satisfied our students are.

CUSTOMIZED SERVICE

Launch of Commuter Student Program
February 08 2024

We have inquiries from people who wish to only take classes at our school without staying in the dormitory. Additionally, these students want to stay in self-designated lodgings or hotels and enjoy free life in Cebu after school, and they only want to commute to school for English classes.

COMMUTER STUDENT PROGRAM will proceed as follows.

  • Only courses centered on the semi-Sparta program are operated.
  • Meals can be chosen at an additional cost.

This program will be updated on this website soon.

Then, please refer to it.

    • This class is provided free of charge.
    • Divided into 3 classes by level and age.

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.

HOW FAST CAN I IMPROVE MY SCORE IF I ENROLL IN THE TOEIC COURSE?

The rate at which you can improve your TOEIC score varies depending on your current level of English proficiency. Here’s an estimate of score improvement based on different starting levels:

  • If your English level is below 450 in TOEIC, you can anticipate an improvement of approximately 150-200 points per 4 weeks.
  • If your English level is below 600 in TOEIC, you can expect to improve your score by 100 to 150 points per 4 weeks.
  • For those with a score of 750 points and above, the rate of score improvement may be reduced.

On average, beginners or those with English proficiency below 450 can achieve a TOEIC score of 850 within approximately 12 weeks of dedicated study and practice.

HOW LONG IS THE STUDY PERIOD FROM IELTS 5.5 TO IELTS 7.0?

The study period to improve from IELTS 5.5 to IELTS 7.0 typically takes around 24 weeks when taking the IELTS Intensive course.
Here is the breakdown:

  • First 12 weeks to improve from 5.5 to 6.5
  • Then even another 12 weeks to improve from 6.5 to 7.0.

However, if you opt to choose the IELTS Score Guarantee, the total study duration can be reduced to 16 – 20 weeks.

For more information on academic progress and detailed course options, please consult with us.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF IELTS SCORE GUARANTEE?

The IELTS Score Guarantee Course at PHILINTER is designed to facilitate the achievement of the maximum score in a short timeframe.

Typically, it takes 24 to 32 weeks of learning for an English beginner to attain an IELTS score of 6.5. However, with our IELTS Score Guarantee Course, this score can be achieved in 24 weeks or even less.

PHILINTER’s IELTS SCORE GUARANTEE is designed to help students reach their target score quickly and effectively. In the event that the guaranteed score is not attained, free tuition fee for a specific number of weeks after the study period will be offered.

Please note that cooperation and consent for the school’s academic management are required to ensure students can fully benefit from our program.
