LBE School reviews

LBE School Reviews and Student Testimonials

Read what executives, doctors, nurses, exam candidates and other professionals say about studying with LBE School. These reviews reflect different goals, from preparing for IELTS, TOEFL and OET to communicating more confidently in meetings, presentations and international work.

People usually come to us with a specific reason for improving their English. Some need an exam score. Others need to present to senior management, prepare for an international role or become more comfortable working in English every day.

The experiences below show how individual preparation has been used in different professional and academic situations.

Exam preparation

Reviews from IELTS and TOEFL students

Some students begin with a clear score requirement and a fixed deadline. Their preparation focuses on the parts of the exam that need the most attention rather than following the same programme as everyone else.

“I studied with my LBE tutor for three months to prepare for IELTS. Each lesson was focused on my needs, with clear explanations and motivating feedback. I achieved the score I needed to make my plan abroad a reality.”

Isis IELTS candidate from Portugal

“The TOEFL preparation classes helped me understand the structure of the exam and what really matters. We practised the tasks that count, and I reached a strong result that opened new opportunities for me.”

Vitor Artistic Director and TOEFL student

“I needed a higher score in all four TOEFL sections. In the first sessions, the teacher identified my weak areas and created a plan. The classes were practical, focused and adapted to my pace — I reached the result I wanted.”

Executives and professionals

English for meetings, presentations and international work

For senior professionals, the problem is often not understanding English. It is using it with enough clarity and control when the conversation matters.

“I worked with LBE before moving to the United States for a global role. The methodology was different from any school I had tried before: highly targeted exercises, current business topics and real conversation. It made a clear difference in my performance.”

Gabriel M. Global Commercial VP

“I had advanced reading skills, but my pronunciation and confidence in front of senior management were weak. With a short, intensive programme, my teacher helped me prepare for a high-stakes presentation to the board — and it was a success.”

Marlei N. Internal Audit Professional

“The classes were dynamic and always connected to real cases from the corporate world. The native teachers helped me refine my communication style and reduce the accent features that made me feel less confident on calls.”

Maria Emília VP of HR

“LBE’s lessons are punctual, professional and fully aligned with executive life. We discuss current market topics, not generic dialogues. This made a real impact on my fluency in meetings and conferences.”

Healthcare and OET

Reviews from doctors and OET candidates

Healthcare professionals often come to LBE with a very specific language or exam requirement. Their work may focus on OET strategy, clinical communication, Writing, Speaking or a combination of these areas.

“LBE helped me reach a Grade B in OET. The feedback was precise and honest, and we focused on the strategies that really move the score.”

Izabela Healthcare professional preparing for OET

“Rob is an excellent OET tutor. He gave me an effective strategy to pass the test. We fixed weak points and strengthened the strong ones. Highly recommended.”

Wilson Doctor preparing for OET

“I took the OET course and had a great experience. I already had a reasonable level of English, but I needed to translate that into a passing score. With focused practice, I achieved the score I needed on my first attempt.”

Higor Doctor and OET candidate

“My daughter had classes with an LBE tutor who was very dedicated and precise. With targeted preparation and a lot of work, she passed a very difficult exam. We are deeply grateful.”

Different starting points

Students returning to English or starting later in life

Not every student has an exam or board meeting ahead. Some want to return to English after years without using it, while others begin later in life and want steady, individual support.

“I studied with my LBE teacher for three years. Thanks to him and the team, I was able to make my dream of learning English at the age of 70 come true. I still have more to learn, but I am proud of what I’ve achieved so far.”

Damiana English learner, aged 70

“The classes are light, direct and focused exactly on what I need. I feel more comfortable every week taking part in conversations with native speakers.”

Isabella Professional working with international teams

“I was already working in a good job when I received an offer from a multinational company. I needed to reactivate my English quickly after many years using only my local languages. With a short, intensive programme focused on interviews, I achieved the result I needed.”

Individual support

What students say about the learning experience

Several reviews mention the same practical points: preparation connected to a real objective, direct feedback and support that fits around professional commitments.

“The learning environment is motivating and personalised, which makes each class productive and enjoyable. I already feel more confident in meetings and in understanding native speakers.”

Ricardo Commercial professional

“Even with limited time before a key presentation, my tutor helped me refine my speech, improve my pronunciation and deliver with confidence.”

Cinthia Professional preparing for a business presentation

“The WhatsApp support was excellent. All my questions were answered clearly, and I received guidance on the best path for the exam I needed to take.”

Carol Exam candidate

“The team was attentive and clarified all my doubts. The service was fast and professional, which made me feel confident about starting the course.”
