STEPS is a developmental course that will take you from zero understanding of the PTE-A Test, to being fully aware of the various sections and question types and having the strategies and techniques necessary to achieve success.

I have been preparing students for a range of English tests such as PTE-A, IELTS and OET for the past 10 years at a school I started with my wife called: Townsville International English School (TIES). TIES is a fully accredited English Language School located in beautiful North Queensland. In fact, in addition to our online PTE-A course, you can study at our awesome boutique English language school.

I am passionate about teaching English as I believe in the truly transformative nature that learning a second language, especially a Lingua Franca such as English, can be. A preparation course such as STEPS on its own is not always enough for a student to achieve success. This course has been written so that a native speaker can familiarise themselves with the test, understand the requirements, and use various strategies and techniques to achieve the best possible result. This is important because there is no silver bullet when it comes to exam preparation. At the heart of any English language test is the language itself. Therefore, if you are not achieving the score you require, I would encourage you to enrol in a General English language course and focus on improving your English level before attempting the test again.

STEPS is an acronym which stands for:

• Strategies: to achieve your goals
• Techniques: to answer all question typed
• Evaluate: your current strengths and weaknesses
• Practice: to improve your skills
• Success
