OUR VALUES
Supportive
We will be by your side as you prepare for your exam, when you take your exam and after your exam when you wait for your results.
Honest
We will not tell you that you can get the score you want in a certain time if it is not possible. We will not charge you money for things we cannot deliver
Expert
We are experts in the IELTS exam and constantly work to improve our knowledge, our techniques and our materials.
Motivating
We believe that success is a result of mindset. If you believe you can, you can. We will believe in you and help you believe in yourself
Inclusive
Our courses work to your personal needs. We look at your strengths and weaknesses and how you can improve in those specific areas.
Flexible
We understand that you have other study, work and family commitments as well as preparing for IELTS. We can design a course for you that works with your timescale and around your other responsibilities
Why are we called IELTS ‘Kite’?
The bird you can see in the photos and the logo is called a black kite. We were inspired to call our company IELTS Kite during our time in Hong Kong where kites are a common sight, soaring between the skyscrapers and by the sea. With our help, your English level can reach new heights too, just like this iconic bird!
