Should You Join IELTS Coaching in Kathmandu or Study at Home?
Preparing the which is a large issue for many Nepalese students and professionals that are to go study or live abroad. Also a very frequent question is:.
Should I go for IELTS coaching in Kathmandu or do it from home?
Both also have what we love and what we leave it is to your advantage which of the two you choose based on your goals, schedule, and learning style. In this blog we will go into the what and which of each option and also present to you how by choosing to join an institution like NIEC (Nepal International Educational Consultancy) you can get that extra something.
🎯 Why IELTS Matters
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is a primary test for students and skilled migrants that wish to go to countries like Australia, Canada, the UK, and New Zealand. Doing well in it can open up access to better universities, scholarships, and PR paths.
🏠 Option 1: Studying for IELTS at home is that enough?
Self study is a choice for those who:.
Want to save money
Prefer flexible timings
Are already confident in English
✅ Pros of Self-Study: Benefits of Self-Study:.
Study at your own pace
Free access to online resources (YouTube, practice tests, apps).
No travel required
❌ Cons of Self-Study: Here is what I see as the downsides of self study:.
No expert feedback
Difficult to evaluate speaking & writing
Less motivation or consistency
Confusing strategies from different sources
Did you know that many a time students which begin with self study tend to shift to coaching once they hit a plateau especially in writing and speaking.
