"First of all, I wanted to thank Karthikeyan sir for training me in writing IELTS academics within a span of 1 week. At first, I was not sure how the online class will help me crack my ielts with a good band within a short span of time. At this time I met Karthikeyan sir through the UrbanPro app. He sounded very confident that he will make the score a bare minimum of 7-7.5 band in ielts writing. His teaching methods were entirely different and he thought me from the scratch. He had a special blueprint which was very helpful. He also thought me many easy technics to attract the examiner. Once again thanks a ton sir I humbly request Karthikeyan sir to help many more students like me to score good marks and I will blindly recommend sir to my friends and relatives if they have any requirements.

"I Strongly recommend Mr Karthikeyan for IELTS Coaching as he is experienced and great teacher. He assesses your current skills and give you great feedback and tips to improve on all four modules of the test. He is also great motivator. This course covers details about the Format and Timings requirement about all four modules S,W,R,L of Ielts Test that is going to be asked in the actual test and also shares lot of information about IELTS test that you should know before you appear for test and provide you study material as well. It also helped with very useful tips that is definitely going to save lot of time and get me good band."

"I was enrolled in an academy training centre before reaching Mr.Karthikeyan. So I could defenetly compare and explain the difference in the coaching and how different Mr.Karthikeyan was to me. In the academy training it was just a practise session followed by correction by the tutor. This approach will not help the student in scoring high band. Besides , it will not assist you when a different types of questions are given in the exam. On the other hand, Mr. Karthikeyan first explained me the strategies and the way to approach each section to score high band. He also helped me to focus on the key areas where I need to improve.Now and then he evaluated me in every aspect of ielts. This obviously helped me to bolster my confidence Whoever is attempting ielts , I agree focus and practise is required to achieve your score . But the key to success and to score high band is to know how to strategically approach the exam and manage the time . To achieve that level I would definitely refer Mr.Karthikeyan. He is really a best mentor for me Thank you sir"

He initially took some time to analyse me and came up with a plan that will work for me. Moreover, he makes his students understand with his significant teaching style. "

Aspirants usually get confused when they start preparing for IAS. They're unsure how to get going, and what to research. Aspirants to IAS / IPS have numerous questions in mind about eligibility for the test, examination dates etc.
Many aren't sure whether or not coaching is necessary. The fears aren't baseless though. I would suggest to you to enrol yourself with one of the leading academies for IAS coaching and try to avail a mentor who could guide you to success!!
