Can I prepare for English tests with Ringle?

About 10-15% of our customers are preparing for English tests, such as TOEFL and IELTS.

Most of them previously studied at tutoring centers that use memorization as main study method, but their scores weren't improving beyond certain level.

Their scores remained at around 21-25 in TOEFL speaking and around 3-5 in IELTS speaking.

However, if your scores are less than 19 in TOEFL speaking or less than 3 in IELTS, or if you have never taken an English class before, we recommend you to take basic courses in offline language tutoring centers.

What are advantages of preparing for an English test with Ringle?

Ringle doesn't encourage studying language through memorization. Our customers improve their English by practicing speaking and writing with their tutors.

"According to our veteran tutors who have conducted numerous lessons at Ringle, memorizing script isn't necessarily a flawed method. However, their students tend to make unconscious mistakes while using a script to express their ideas, such as tenses, articles, prepositions, singular and plural nouns. Those mistakes decrease their scores."

According to our customers, they were able to improve their scores by speaking with a native tutor instead of memorizing scripts. Their tutors corrected their English and pointed out any repetitive mistakes, which led them to increase their speaking/writing scores by about 1-2 points in a short amount of time.

Hence, we recommend Ringle lessons to those who need a different study method that's not simple memorization. (ex. People whose speaking/writing scores are stagnating)

How can I prepare for an English speaking test with Ringle?

Our customers that are preparing for an English speaking test use Free Topic format, which allows them to upload their own materials.

• 1) Select 4-5 prompts that may appear on the speaking test you're preparing for.

In this process, many of our customers said that they found the script useful, because their tutors have helped them to write a script that is easier to pronounce.

Also, their English improved in the course of constant corrections (ex. mistakes with a, an, the, singular and plural, tenses, etc.), increasing their test scores by at least 1-2 points.
