The location of the school is just perfect, two minutes from Central Station so really

not only help you, but also listen to you, as well as give you some advice.They are
my mentors and I am sincerely glad I chose ABILITY. I will always appreciate their

40. The EAP course is a very demanding and chall-
enging course. Now I am studying at Macquarie
University, and looking back I am extremely
grateful for what I learnt. I was extremely shy and
found doing presentations difficult but now I can
present with confidence. The most important
thing I gained from EAP is that I am equipped
with academic writing skills.

IELTS Preparation
FCE and CAE Preparation
I came to ABILITY English to improve
my IELTS results so I could get my Civil
Engineering qualification recognised here
in Australia. I got the result I needed and I
am now working as a Project Engineer in
Sydney.The staff at ABILITY are amazing
and really push you with your learning.
JulianVera, Colombia
I am currently working as an Operation
Officer in a finance company in Sydney. I
studied FCE atABILITY English which gave
me the confidence I needed to use English
in the workplace.
The teachers atABILITY are very dedicated
and really helped me so I could work in the
same industry in Australia as I did at home
in Brazil.
Renata Baptistini, Brazil
A friend of mine attended this course before
and she recommended it to me. She said it
was a life changing course, so I decided to
come to Australia, and fortunately it turned
out to be true. Now I am moving to New
York for my new job with a highly reputable
international company that operates in over
140 countries.

Pronunciation & Fluency
I like General English because I’m learning
a lot of new words. I’m improving my
English and I have made many new friends.
I have met people from many countries and
learned about their cultures.
Our teachers are great, I can explain myself
better and now I think in English.
KarenVillena, Peru
When I decided to go toAustralia I had just
one goal - to improve my English so speaking
with a native speaker was a pleasure and not
torture. The General English Plus course at
ABILITY English was a really good experience
for me.The course balances speaking, writing,
listening and reading and I realise now that
each part is essential to reach my target.
If English matters for you this is the right
course to help you keep on track.
