Testimonials
Esabelle 👩
Satisfied ISAT client
“The quality of instruction I received for my ISAT classes was par excellence! My Instructor was experienced and had mastered the format of the test perfectly, which was something that I wouldn't have been able to benefit from had I studied on my own! The high-difficulty practices we did together helped me to apply the techniques I learnt to the test effectively. Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a similar question that we practiced in the classroom appear on the actual test - BONUS POINTS! Thank you!”
