I had a great experience with the PTE review classes at Al Manal Centre. The sessions were well-structured and focused on real strategies that helped me improve quickly. A big thank you to Maria Elena — she was incredibly patient, funny, and always willing to explain things clearly. Her support made a huge difference in my confidence and preparation. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to achieve a score of 90 in the PTE. Highly recommend this place if you’re serious about getting good results!
