Preparation is done by a person, not a method. This is the team that sits down with you: qualified teachers with years of classroom and exam experience, and the habit of telling you what you need to hear before what you want to hear.
Twenty years of experience and a clear method: dynamic classes shaped around what each candidate needs, in a room where making mistakes is encouraged because that is where the learning happens. Conversation, business English and exam preparation.
Over twenty years teaching across eight countries. At ULIC since 2014, where he also builds materials, runs the teacher-development workshops and handles level testing. Prepares Cambridge, IELTS, TOEFL and Linguaskill.
One to one, around whatever schedule you have. A candidate preparing Aptis with him put it like this: she arrived embarrassed to speak and felt comfortable from the first day.
The name that comes up most often in ULIC's reviews. He runs the three-week intensives, in person and online, for C1, IELTS, Aptis and Linguaskill: mock scores are logged every day and the weakest part gets the extra work. Writing comes back corrected fast, which is what candidates thank him for most.
Mostly one to one and pre-exam courses. He plans the whole block before the first session: one candidate arrived needing Linguaskill with ten hours in the centre ahead of him and left with the certificate. Cambridge up to C2, and his writing feedback is what the reviews name.
Scottish, and at ULIC since 2015. Author of the coursebook PASS Aptis General, and the person who decides how each exam gets prepared here. Cambridge, IELTS, TOEIC and Aptis, worked through in rising order of difficulty, with the exam strategy on the table from the first session.
More than twenty years of teaching, including spells in Japan, Slovakia and Libya. Teaches professional English, Business English and above all Cambridge, IELTS and TOEFL preparation.
He has run ULIC since 2010 and still teaches around twenty hours of preparation a week, which is unusual in this sector. His ground is exam preparation and professional English inside companies. He writes the monthly newsletter and is the face of ULIC on LinkedIn and TikTok.
One to one, mostly IELTS. He co-writes the monthly newsletter and the Prepare. Certify. Succeed. podcast with Ben Dickinson.
American, and a Madrid local for the past twenty-five years. He works with experienced professionals who want to sound natural, building the sessions around their own presentations, their stories and the real situations they face at work. His first full-time job was as a clown for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.
He runs the B2 and C1 pre-exam intensives. His ground is the return after years away from English: one candidate certified B2 with two weeks of preparation after ten years without studying. He works through the exam part by part, until the paper holds no surprises.
