The PELMO online assessment was very user-friendly, and the topics of the questions were interesting. And I finished in less than an hour!

Jerald L., Philippines

The assessment questions allowed me to talk about many interesting things so I could speak and write a lot. I think this helped me to get a high score.

Sandra A., Nigeri

I learned new ways to sound clearer and more engaging when presenting in English.

Patricia L., Mexico

The speaking techniques, such as pausing and changing intonation, I can use in any situation when I have to speak English and I want to be engaging. The techniques really work!

Christian G., IJALTI, Mexico

The feedback provided by my instructor and classmates was really valuable. I can apply what I learned and I feel more confident when I speak English now.
