Thanks much for your review! Understand that teaching and mentoring alone may not be the reason for a great score in PTE but for a very personal involvement in practicing till we get the right answer choice matters the most. Furthermore, mere a very good understanding of the concept alone shall not be enough at all. As being suggested or advised by me to you during various practice sessions, that right understanding of the question statements and a good logical approach in analyzing and interpreting the given text in a manner that it makes the right sense matters the most for a very good grading. Keep Practicing and Give your Best! Wishing you all success on your PTE Test. Regards,- Karthikeyan Saminathan - Certified TESOL

"I am a student of IELTS Academics Intensive Learning Program and to be very honest, Mr Karthikeyan Saminathan is undeniably one of the best tutors I have ever come across. His way of teaching and mentoring his students regardless of better or worse they are in academics and in helping them step up progressively towards their target score really surprises me. You can't find many tutors of this quality very often. At first when I had the idea of taking up IELTS, I was pretty nervous as “how am I going to do this for a pretty decent score?” But he really gave me the confidence and made it look very easy and attainable. To make a point here, “his tested and validated strategies in cracking each of the IELTS modules such as Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing really works to wonder”. He's really good at what he's doing. "

"Mr Karthikeyan Saminathan has mentored me for IELTS academics. At first I did not know anything about it. But now, I am confident to attend my test. He encouraged me and that boosted my self-confidence to practice well and to make progress in an encouraging way. He will first analyze you and will let you know what type of teaching you may want. For sure, he will not leave you until the strategies get into your mind. I have enrolled for a one-to-one Personalized Intensive program with him. His presentation takes you to the next level and he is polite in his teaching. In the first class, when I gave money he didn't collect it, and after completing the first class he took a confirmation, “if I was comfortable with his approach”, and only then he received it. He is the best IELTS trainer and a wonderful mentor. Furthermore, I have even recommended him for mentoring my brothers. "

"I am a student of IELTS General Regular Learning Program. This is not just a feedback, but my experience of learning the very essentials of IELTS. Mr Karthikeyan Saminathan is such a wonderful mentor, above all he is definitely a good human being. Further, I stand impressed with his expertise and his ability to understand the learner’s cognizance and disposition and guide them accordingly. In my personal opinion he has demonstrated a variety of validated or proven techniques that certainly would help me prove my English language abilities in cracking Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing modules of IELTS test well with confidence to achieve my target band score of 7+. I would definitely recommend him for anyone who is really interested in IELTS coaching with an affordable price. "

"Mr Karthikeyan Saminathan sir taught me for IELTS academic exam through online classes with his own strategies it makes my learning easier, in fact, I have enrolled for a 1-2-1 Personalized Intensive Learning Program of 40 hours. His order of teaching is good. His presentations and visual lessons are interesting and very useful. He taught me based on my learning ability, apart from that he is polite in teaching and he motivated me while I was struggling in preparation. But now, I have confidence to score a band 7+. This IELTS academic exam contains listening, reading, writing, speaking. His way of teaching helps me to crack these four sections for a good band score in my upcoming exam. I would like to recommend him to my friends who are willing to improve their English language and for a very good IELTS Score. Truly speaking he is a very good IELTS trainer, a coach and a wonderful mentor. "
Boobalan
"I have been able to secure 85+ in 3 sections and 78 in writing. I was desperate to get that 1 aditional mark. This might sound flimsy but without a doubt I can say this Mr. KARTHIK is a mentor and not an trainer. I have met couple of instructors over the last few days and he was the first one to test me on the spot and gave feedback on where I needed an improvement. He does justice to the teaching profession. He pin pointed the mistakes i committed and helped me out."
Salmaan
"Mr Karthik sir is a wonderful tutor with the different teaching techniques who can convey the subject to the students of different abilities .I have done my Ielts training with him.He analysis the student ability and comes down to their level and teaches them what is needed in different stratiges. I would recommend my friends for ielts classes with him.I have taken up the classes in a very short duration for the test where he some how managed me to to get through. "
Nagarajan
"I have just completed a course on "Developing Effective Communication Skills", with Mr. Karthikeyan S (Karthik Nathan). He is one of the best language tutors. He redefines the way to learn a language quickly and effectively. He is master in customization of his training program in order to accomplish his trainees requirements. He is so sincere and dedicated in his teaching which I feel is motivating and encouraging to flow with the flow of the program. I give a Big Thumbs Up the way he teaches. "
Sakthivel
"Karthik is one of the very few trainers who identifies his students plus and minus in the very beginning. He has a unique method of analyzing students in order to provide the kind of training required for them. He is instrumental in reading people's mind which helps as a student to explain what we are looking for. After listening to the student requirement he will test the student ability before assuring what kind of scorecard improvement he can help with in what duration. (of course student effort should be considered) Moving on to his classes, he will teach four master class to each section in PTE, which at times, some students feels it might be out of topic but one could relate the connection he brought in at the end which is amazing. I want to personally thank him for the tips he provided for each and every section of task which help to grow in confidence. Finally, Karthik has become more than a tutor for me (Mentor). His valuable insights on reading people's mind help me to understand where i am in the society. Will recommend to go for his training at any given time. "

"I am an Engineer and have taken the PTE Academic program with you. Here are a few words on your teaching and mentoring abilities. 1. The teaching has been excellent end-to-end. I can experience a strong change in my pronunciation and oral fluency. 2. Your comprehensive training and timely assessment have undoubtedly helped improve progressively on my pronunciation and oral fluency to a great extent. 3. I appreciate your approach as you firmly believe that, â??if you can correct our basics, we can prosper in a better wayâ??. In short "You have given life to my English". 4. I am confident of scoring 80+ in my PTE Test."
Bala
"Rather than teaching Karthik would mentor you. He will introduce you the new dimension of this language. The techniques and methodologies evolved by him over his experience would definitely lead a way to you to compete with native speakers. I endorse Karthikeyan Saminathan for his teaching and mentoring abilities. I would definitely recommend students to enroll for his PTE Classes who are aiming for high PTE Band Scores. "
Ishwariya
"My name is Ishwarya, and I have undertaken an Intensive Learning Program on IELTS (Academic) with Karthik Nathan Sir. Certainly it is an affordable program that I would recommend to my friends for sure. Actually it was a matchless experience for me as I could gain the required knowledge for IELTS Academic Test. Also to mention, you taught me according to my abilities. I really want to say that you are so kind and polite. First I would like to say about learning Speaking section from you. Initially, I had a feeling of being upset or annoyed as a result of being unable to change the way I use to speak English, in fact I was lacking confidence to further with. Gradually I realised that the way you were progressing with your teaching I realised the fact that you were not only teaching me to understand, but also mentoring me by providing me with patterns of native English speakers to attain the desired output and had helped me change the way I word English. Secondly, when you started with Listening section, I was lacking attention and found it difficult to mark my answers. I remember that I could secure only B6 in my first test. Later, you taught me strategies to overcome barriers to listening and I gradually started improving as it was reflecting on my band score during the practice tests. This was possible only because of your mentoring abilities. In addition, reading section was really frustrating as I found it to be hard to understand the main idea of paragraph and in reading you helped me understand the various question specific strategies such as rapid reading, and information mapping which I found more useful to get answers swiftly.Finally, it was about teaching and mentoring me on academic writing task 1, and writing task 2. I could not believe if I could ever make it to your expectations. But your structured approach to teaching and mentoring writing skills made its way to possibilities. I am so glad to say that you have always motivated me to do things in positive way. I have the confidence that I will definitely score band 7 and above. "

"I have distrusted on my English abilities till the time my IELTS Mentor Mr Karthikeyan Saminathan (Karthik Nathan) spoke with me to understand my expectations. Further he had put me on a Placement Test to validate my English abilities. Prior to starting the IELTS classes, he helped me doing a bridge course in English Basics. He has a well-defined and structured framework for teaching IELTS to the expectations of the student. His step-by-step approach to each of the IELTS Modules is truly good. Being moderate to learning, I could understand the strategies and could implement the strategies positively. He has taking one to one class so it is very useful those who preparing for the IELTS Exam and he has a good knowledge having lots of ideas .Personally he is good and positive minded person. He Guided me step by step to prepare for IELTS exam. I certainly would recommend Mr Karthik Nathan to my friends. Thanking you Sir. "

"The training was very clear and detail. Mr. Karthik conducted the class in very professional manner. A lot of information was covered and at the end of each session Karthik will run through the course that was covered on that day, which help the student to remember everything in mind. The syllabus he covered was very helpful for the beginners.. His guidance and assignments provided was also very helpful. At the end of the course I had benefited in learning the basics and think through in English and I can now make a meaningful sentences. The instructor, Mr. Karthik is very easy to communicate and educated me with very interesting real life examples of the course materials. I enjoy learning about this material to help me do my job better. "

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!!
