  • I was clueless about how to prepare for IELTS and Estero made the journey very smooth for me. The format of the exam and common pitfalls were explained. The trainer was extremely supportive and flexible with the timings of the classes to suit my work schedule. I sincerely loved the approach towards solving each section in the exam allowing one to finish well within time. Not to forget about the Mock tests made available for practice which helped me rectify mistakes and gain confidence. I highly recommend the entire team of Estero to score well in IELTS.
