English online for university admission: IELTS and TOEFL
English-taught programmes in China, the UAE, Malaysia, Europe and across Asia test your English with IELTS or TOEFL. We prepare you for both and match you with a teacher for the score you need.
Tell us the language, your level and your goal — we will match a tutor and a format and give you the price.
Language requirements for admission
Each university and programme sets its own requirements. We check them against your list before preparation starts.
Each university sets its own minimum: the American University of Sharjah, for example, admits bachelor's students with IELTS Academic 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 80.
SourceUniversities usually accept TOEFL and IELTS results for two years — AUS, for example.
SourceSince 21 January 2026 TOEFL iBT scores on a 1–6 scale; until January 2028 the report also shows a 0–120 equivalent, so requirements written on the old scale can still be checked.

We find your starting level (or zero) and match a tutor — a native speaker or a Russian-speaking teacher — to your goal and pace.
First lesson
You meet your tutor and try the format; we adjust the plan if needed.
Regular lessons and progress
Check-ins and feedback after every block — you see real progress, not a feeling.
Frequently asked questions
IELTS or TOEFL — which should I take?
Most universities accept both — check your university's list. AUS, for example, accepts IELTS Academic and TOEFL iBT. We help you pick the one easier to sit in your city and timeframe.
What score do I need for admission?
The university sets the minimum: at AUS, for example, IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 80 for a bachelor's. We check your universities' requirements and aim a little higher.
How do the lessons work?
Online, one-to-one or in a mini-group. In the first lesson the teacher assesses your level and plans the route to the exam you need. We match you with a native or Russian-speaking teacher to suit your goal and timeline.
