YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHICH LEARNING SPEED TO CHOOSE?

The following questions & answers will help you

What is the minimum IELTS score required to study abroad, settle down or apply for jobs at international corporations?

Usually, the minimum score that students need to achieve is IELTS 6.0. However, students also need to understand that IELTS 6.0 is the lowest score needed. It is not so high as many people mistakenly believe. Just like when you take an exam in Vietnam, do you think that getting 6 points is already high or not?

The IELTS band score is 1.0 to 9.0. Therefore, 6.0 is just average. For international students, the requirements are stricter. Some prestigious schools around the world may require IELTS 6.5 or 7.0 to ensure students can study better and have fewer language barriers.

Does the Regular Class guarantee good progress?

All classes at WS ensure the best quality for students. The main difference between the mentioned classes is only in the students’ progress.

For example, when students choose the SUPERFAST 3x-5x or FLASH 5x-8x class, their progress will be remarkable because they are more exposed to English and use it more often. As for the Regular class, it is enough to ensure the student is making good progress.

How long does it take to reach IELTS 6.0?

IELTS is the international English testing system used to assess the foreign language ability of those who want to study and work in countries where English is the main language. Especially, in order to get into the world-renowned universities, the students’ IELTS score must be at least 6.0 – 7.0. This is not easy at all. Whether the student is going to get IELTS 6.0 quickly or slowly depends on what rate of learning they choose and the effort of each individual.

According to research worldwide, the average IELTS score of students will increase by about 0.5 after 6 months. If taking the Regular classes, students will need at least 2 – 3 years to practice and achieve IELTS 6.0. On the other hand, if students choose the SUPERFAST 3x-5x or FLASH 5x-8x classes, this time will be shortened many times due to students’ extremely fast progress. There are even many students who have achieved IELTS 6.0 – 6.5, within 1 – 1.5 years from the time they started the official IELTS preparation program.

After completing the IELTS Foundation course, what will students learn next?

After completing the IELTS Foundation course, students will be upgraded to a higher and harder level. That is IELTS band 4-5 and is also the official IELTS program.

Is it redundant if learning English too much? Is it a waste if we can't absorb them all?

This misconception is what we often get. Many people mistakenly think that just spending a little time and effort is enough to be good at English. So there is no need to try or work hard. They even feel like learning more than 3 lessons / week is redundant and wasteful. In fact, learning and mastering any language in the world takes quite a long time and calculated in years rather than months.

Thus, if you want to speak English fluently like a native, you have to invest the time and effort as much and as soon as possible. What you need to worry about is not whether it is redundant or wasteful when learning too much, but whether you can devote a lot and enough time to studying.

In particular, children have the ability to acquire and learn new things the fastest and most effective way. As we get older, this ability diminishes with time, not increasing. So it can be said that investing in early learning is the most important and most necessary investment for the development of every human being. Of course, that is the case only if we invest in the right way, choose the right place to study, not just pour money into it. Sometimes parents want to invest in their children, or students want to invest in themselves, but choose the wrong center or a poor school. That makes learning English be like torture and full of pressure instead of being fun and exciting as it is supposed to be. Besides, the cost of petrol, effort, shuttle time, tuition, most importantly, time lost for nothing.

For the future, success, and happiness of your child and yourself, WS encourages parents / students to carefully consider the choice of school or center for their children / students to develop comprehensively and become talented, useful people for society. WS ENGLISH is one of the smartest choices and right at your fingertips. Seize it!

Can I register for 2 lessons / week?

Currently, WS ENGLISH does not offer any course for 1-2 lessons / week. The reason is parents / students always want to see the fastest progress. Taking too few lessons a week would be hard to achieve this result. Therefore, WS classes have a minimum of 3 lessons / week with special programs designed to meet the requirements of quality and progress of the student. Also, WS still encourages students to learn more than three lessons per week so that students will improve extremely fast and be more satisfied with the results.

Moreover, achieving IELTS 6.0 is not easy. For students who intend to study abroad, settle down, work at international corporations, or in English-speaking countries, the sooner the student can get an IELTS score of at least 6.0, the better. Don’t miss valuable opportunities just because English is not up to standard. For students who have dreams of studying abroad, at the end of the 12th grade, students must have a minimum of IELTS 6.0.

WS encourages parents / students to consider and make the smartest choices. Investing in knowledge is always the wisest, most profitable, and least risky investments. To be more precise, there is only a risk when you choose the wrong English center with poor quality. CHOOSE WS to bring this risk down to 0. Success and WS are waiting for you!

Why so many centers pledge that the students will achieve IELTS 6.0 or even 7.0 - 8.0 certificates within 2-3 months and only study 2-3 lessons a week while WS does not make such a commitment?

There are many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that these centers will not do as they promised. The purpose of their advertisement is to engage parents / students. The second reason is that they can somehow prepare the students for the test to be quite similar to the real one. Of course, students will easily pass the exam without spending much time and learning effort. This also means that students can achieve the desired certificate, but the quality and qualifications are not real. The third reason is that the students are in the wrong class. It means that the student’s ability has passed IELTS 6.0 for instance, but these centers still put them in the IELTS band 5.0 – 6.0 exam preparation class. So it only takes them a short time to pass.

Parents / students need to be very discerning and wary of such attractive and engaging advertising. Try asking yourself from the past till now, have you ever studied and succeeded in any field but it took only 2-3 months or not? How many years have you studied accounting? How many years have you studied economics? How long does it take to graduate from a medical school? Or even to be able to speak Vietnamese, how many years do you need? So, why do you think it only takes 2-3 months to master a foreign language?

WS has never made such false, dishonest commitments because we understand that it takes a lot of time, effort, hard work, and money to achieve the desired IELTS results. At WS, students can learn real English. WS only regards IELTS certificates as a temporary measure to help parents / students have a better view of students’ progress. WS focuses on teaching English skills to help students communicate fluently, confidently, and naturally like native speakers. Once being really good at English, passing IELTS 6.0 or higher becomes obvious and too easy for students at WS.

What is the difference between the Regular, Fast 2x, SUPERFAST 3x-5x, and FLASH 5x-8x classes?

The biggest difference lies in the students’ progress rate. All classes at WS ensure the best quality for students, only differ at the rate of progress. The Fast 2x class will be 2 times faster than the Regular one. The SUPERFAST 3x-5x class is 3-5 times faster than the Regular one. Finally, the FLASH 5x-8x class helps students to progress 5-8 times faster than the Regular one.

Why is there such a big difference? It is just like cycling. Initially, it will be heavy and slow to start, but once the wheel has rotated evenly and smoothly, cycling becomes very easy, does not take much effort, and still reaches high speed. On the other hand, if the bicycle is turning midway but has to stop, then the cyclist must take a lot of effort to redo the heavy start-up operation as before, then slowly accelerate. It just takes time, a lot of work, but the speed is really slow.

Therefore, WS always encourages students to learn more lessons per week, so that they have more time with English. When learning 5-6 lessons / week, it is like a bicycle that is continually pedaled inertia. Therefore, students do not need much effort, “pedal” very gently but the pace of progress is extremely fast. If learning too little, it is like cycling halfway to stop. Then it takes a lot of effort to restart and try hard to reach the previous speed. So that is why when students take the SUPERFAST 3x-5x or FLASH 5x-8x classes, they are able to pass TOEIC 800 – 990 within 1 year from the beginning of the TOEIC exam preparation program. On the other hand, students at the Regular classes need a minimum of 3 years to reach this level.

In addition, when students join the SUPERFAST 3x-5x or FLASH 5x-8x classes, they will be offered more FREE online English courses on Advanedu.com than the Regular and Fast 2x classes. This helps students study at home by themselves and practice their self-discipline. Furthermore, students can freely take supplemental classes without worrying about the expiration of these as in the Regular or Fast 2x classes.

Besides tuition, are there other incurred costs such as management fees, facilities, or not?

ABSOLUTELY NOT. WS is always clear and transparent so parents / students do not need to worry about incurred costs. WS does NOT collect anything other than tuition.

Not only that, parents / students at WS also receive the following offers and bonuses: audios, supplemental lessons, school exam preparation in English, participation in sample tests simulated the real exams, and offered some online English courses on Advanedu that help students learn at home by themselves. ALL COMPLETELY FREE. See details at OFFERS & BONUSES.

What is special about the IELTS exam preparation program at WS?

The truly special thing about WS lies not only in the best curriculum but also in the professionalism, enthusiasm, and the high sense of responsibility of the teachers. It can be said that when coming to WS, students not only discover the latest and most attractive IELTS programs in the market but also get a lot of inspiration and enthusiasm to learn from teachers. When you have confidence and passion, success will come to you.

Besides, WS has also developed an online teaching system on Advanedu.com, enabling students to easily learn English at home, ask questions, and communicate directly with teachers. What’s more interesting when you learn and be supported anytime and anywhere?

In addition, WS provides students with not only the simulated IELTS exams right at WS ENGLISH, but also online IELTS exams to help students constantly gain experience and familiarize themselves with the IELTS test format. This greatly supports the success of students.

If students miss school, can they take supplemental lessons after that?

ABSOLUTELY YES. The number of lessons your child misses fully compensated. The condition for supplemental lessons is that when missing school, students need to inform WS by phone, message, or email.

Moreover, for the Regular or Fast 2x classes, students need to take supplemental lessons right in the course. If the child can not do that before the end of the course, those supplemental lessons considered lost.

Particularly for the SUPERFAST 3x-5x or FLASH 5x-8x classes, students can take the supplemental lessons at any time without any restriction as for the Regular and Fast 2x classes.

Does WS have any discount programs?

WS has a lot of discount programs. For example, when parents / students pay tuition in the form of 2 courses (20 weeks), they will receive an immediate discount of VND 200,000 – VND 500,000, or 1 year (50 weeks), they will receive a 10% discount.

In addition, when parents / students introduce a new student to WS, they will be given a discount card worth VND 250,000 for the next course. And for newly introduced students, they will also receive a discount card worth VND 150,000 when paying for their second course. Contact WS for more details.
