A clear process — no guesswork, no wasted time.
The first lesson is diagnostic. Your teacher assesses your current level, identifies specific gaps against the exam structure. We start precisely where it matters — not from the beginning of everything.
Based on the diagnostic, we build your plan: which modules to prioritize, how to distribute time, when to sit the exam. For SAT — Math and Reading/Writing separately. For IELTS/TOEFL — all 4 sections with focus on your weak areas.
Live sessions in groups of up to 6 or 1-on-1 with a teacher who specializes in your specific exam. All materials included. Internal mock tests are a required part of the program.
A complete practice exam under real conditions. Error analysis. Final strategy recommendations for exam day.
Taken 1–2 weeks before your real exam date

Digital format. Two sections — Reading & Writing and Math. Offered 7 times a year: March, May, June, August, October, November, December. Registration: collegeboard.org.
We break down the full digital SAT: adaptive testing, question types, traps. We train time management — 64 minutes for Reading & Writing, 70 for Math.
Algebra, advanced math, data analysis and geometry — exactly the 4 domains SAT Math tests. Not general school content, but the specific skills the exam requires.
Academic passages, evidence-based reasoning, rhetoric. This is what separates a 1200 from a 1400+.
Track your progress from diagnostic to exam day
We prepare for IELTS Academic — for university admissions and professional accreditation. Scale: 0–9. Four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking.
Academic listening and reading with full focus on IELTS question types: multiple choice, matching, sentence completion. We work through the wording traps that cost students bands.
Both modules trained separately: Task 1 — data and diagram description; Task 2 — argumentative essay. Every piece of writing checked by the teacher with detailed comments.
Parts 1, 2 and 3 — all formats practiced. Sessions with native speakers: authentic pronunciation, idiomatic language, academic register.
Real names. Real scores. Real universities.
Maximum score: 120. Four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing. Required for university admissions, student visas, immigration and professional certification.
University-level academic texts and lectures. We train comprehension of argument, detail and inference — precisely the skills TOEFL measures.
TOEFL is unique in its integrated tasks: you read, listen, then speak or write in response. We train this combined skill specifically.
Full mock tests under real iBT conditions. Each result reviewed in detail. Final practice test 1–2 weeks before the real exam.

"From Latvia to Ivy League"
I moved to Latvia and Russian-language state education was no longer an option. I found SHKOLA, tried a trial lesson, looked at the subjects, and realized the American diploma was recognized internationally. That was enough to decide.
"From B1 English to King's College London seminars"
At my first lesson I was sitting there trying to understand anything, speaking very slowly. Now I'm in London, near my university, talking calmly on the street, participating in seminars — listening to lectures and arguing with professors when I think they're wrong.

"9 universities · $509,825 in scholarship offers"
Since childhood I dreamed of studying in the US. In 9th grade I decided to do something about it. My mom found SHKOLA — an international diploma I could take anywhere. I applied to universities across the US and Europe, and the total scholarship offers came to $509,825 from 9 universities.
"Moved to Thailand in 12th grade — graduated on schedule"
We moved to Thailand and universities required 12 years of education. Vyacheslav had finished 11 grades in Russia. SHKOLA gave us a schedule that fit his sport, and even let us add extra hours to finish sooner. The university accepted the diploma without any additional exams — only an interview in English. — Tatiana, Vyacheslav's mother
"Two schools at once — her schedule, her choice"
I managed to combine both schools — SHKOLA on Wednesdays and Fridays, preparatory courses every day, and a private tutor. I built my own schedule and went through all the material I needed for the entrance exams at my Russian university. The flexibility made it possible.
