“During the IELTS course, I learnt how to do each part of the test and improved my vocabulary and grammar too.
With the tests in class you can see what your level is and what to improve.
I went to the IELTS test very confident of what my results would be and I was right.
In class, we learnt how to write quickly and efficiently, making yourself clear and expressing opinions from our point of view.
In the Bayside IELTS course, you really learn how to do the test with lots of good tips and advice to pass it successfully.”

“My 4 months at Bayside helped me start my life here in Melbourne.
I really enjoyed the small building and familiar atmosphere at Bayside; I felt good and integrated.
They have awesome teachers!”
Yerly, Colombia
“Before the IELTS preparation course at Bayside, I felt unprepared but after the course, I was confident about my skills. I took an English exam back home as part of my master’s degree admission and I got a good score and a scholarship.
My favourite part of the course was the reading because I learned so much vocabulary.
It’s a great school! The teachers have an excellent level of experience teaching IELTS.
The practice IELTS tests are very good because you can know your English level.”
Catherine, France
“After my time at Bayside, I felt much more confident about the IELTS because I knew the methodology and had trained in all the different topics in class.
The classes are small so the teachers can follow your progress and help you improve faster.”
Cristina, Spain
Student
“Before I took IELTS preparation at Bayside, my score was 4.5. After my 4-week course, it was 6.
The most useful part of the IELTS course for me was writing. Our teachers gave us so much vocabulary, connectors and corrections.
I would definitely recommend IELTS preparation at Bayside!”
Pongsiri, Thailand
“The Bayside IELTS course really guides students to be ready for the exam.
The writing lessons helped me to plan step by step for each section and I was able to solve my time management issues.
With experienced and proactive teachers, Bayside students can reach their IELTS goals”
Walaikorn (Jane), Thailand
“Before the Bayside IELTS preparation course, I didn’t have any confidence about this exam. After, I understood what the exam required and I knew how to achieve the score I wanted.
I really enjoyed the small classes and working with my teachers. They always consider their students, they know your weaknesses and strengths and how to improve your score.”
Best school ever, I love bayside's easy going, non-stress approach. When I studied there I felt like home. The classes were small and felt almost personalised and tailored to my learning needs. Highly recommended. Diana Montoya
12/10/2019 Great place to meet new people and interact in English! Nice environment with great and loving teachers.

11/28/2019 Best place for IELTS preparation, I took one week of writing classes managed to score 7 in academic, highly recommend. Special thanks to ineke. saandeep shoran
4/07/2019 Great experience! The small number of students (5-6) in the class makes the learning process more effective, allows each student to have enough time to practice speaking and facilitates the interaction with the teachers. Max and Jenelle, thanks for your support and true interest in helping me. On top of that, being located in St. Kilda beach is a plus 🙂 martha priscilla
3/28/2019- I am so lucky! I met great teachers and lovely classmates here. I has been studying English for 14 months and I will never regret it forever.
In fact, I couldn't have wrote in English so I needed help from my friend before I came here.
My writing isn't perfect I know...but I am sure it is getting better.
My ex-coworker recommended this colleage 7 years ago. She was a student and she still miss here. That's why she recommended to me. She said Bayside helped her adjust to Australia and lean English.
I agree with her PERFECTLY! Ji Young Agnes Yang
2/25/2019 I was a student at Bayside College for 2 weeks (May 18) and took the IELTS Writing only class. The teachers are awesome. I quickly learned what was wrong with my writing plus together with the tips from the teachers I got my required writing score of 7. Highly recommend Bayside, special thanks to Alex. Omar Iqbal
8/17/2018 I had done IELTS test twice and I could not get the score that I needed in writing section. I felt frustrated and I did not know what to do to improve my score. I decided to take some classes with Bayside. Firstly I did "Flexi-Time IELTS" and after "IELTS Writing Only". The experience was increible, Alex was an excellent teacher and helped me a lot to detect my mistakes. I learnt strategies and how develop my skills to complete that part of the test. Thanks to all their help and motivation I got the score that I needed! Sandra Riffo
7/31/2018 I studied at the school for one year and I learned English from nearly all the teachers. They taught me kindly, were easy to understand and friendly. Not only teaching English, but also they supported me with my career plan and my life and so on. I'm grateful to them!! Nanako Nakamura

3/20/2018 - If someone ask me about this school, I'd like to say in 2 things: enthusiastic and good quality. Eventhough, this is a tiny school and classes, we're learning a giant of knowledge which is very usefull for us. Teachers who have a such of experience in teaching English, know about strong and weak point of their students and help them to improve as fast as they can. From my point of view, I really love this school and want to vote more than 5-star. mai chau
1/28/2018 I had the opportunity to study at Bayside College some years ago and It was the best decision I made. The school environment is great, so friendly and teachers are very professional. The location is more than convenient for any adventure you want to have in the city or the beach near by. I highly recommend this school for any international student willing to learn a good English. Juan Gomez
1/18/2018 Great school I definitely recommend it. Reasons: 1) small groups 2) flexibility to move to another course 3) amazing people working there 4) international mingle Lalo Rivas
