    This is The BEST Method For Learning English A lot of people have tried to learn English by studying grammar, reading books, watching movies or TV shows, but still lack confidence and fluency when speaking English.
    I have worked with students every day for the past 20 years, and most of my students initially felt that reaching fluency was impossible.

    Why choose Yuri S.
    "I'm currently working in an American call center, and good English is a must! Striving to achieve something or at the very least keep my job, I decided to take these online classes. It has been a great experience so far. After a few lessons, I can already tell that Yuri is going to help me take my English to a whole new level. My only regret is that I didn't find him sooner! Thanks."

More specifically, IELTS uses British English and is generally favored by the United Kingdom and institutions in Commonwealth nations, such as New Zealand and Australia. On the other hand, the TOEFL tests your ability to communicate in English in academic settings. Administered by US-based organization the Education Testing Service, TOEFL uses American English. It is accepted by thousands of institutions across many countries, including the UK, USA, and Australia, as well as all of the world’s top 100 universities. It can also satisfy the required language component for student, post-study, skilled migration, and business visas in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
