English Skill up (ESU) is a non-for-profit volunteer project that provides free and innovative English language services exclusively for Syrian students and IELTS candidates. We are not a traditional English language delivery service, We try to provide what is missing and we try to be always practical in our approach.WE DELIVER.
We run our project online and we use Facebook as our platform for delivering our services.
In 2017, we launched our first initiative that is intended to cater for the growing demands of Syrian students aspiring to sit IELTS and get the required score to meet the language requirement of the scholarships they are applying for.
Our first initiative is called IELTS Writing Clinic where we address the common problems of IELTS candidates with writing module. We have come to understand that getting high score in IELTS writing module is not an easy job and test candidates need someone to check, proofread and correct their essays to improve their score.
In ESU, we not only identify the errors in IELTS writing, either Academic or General, but also help you to structure professional paragraphs by giving some explanation tips on how to improve sentence structuring, paragraphing and other relevant issues. You can read more about the clinic HERE
We are also in the process of setting up another project to improve speaking skill. It will be announced soon.Read more here about our upcoming project Syrians Speak English SSE.
