While many students prefer self-study to prepare for IELTS, others need professional guidance. You will find a lot of IELTS coaching centers in your city, but assessing how well the courses offered by these institutes will work for you is fairly difficult. All the courses offered have different methodologies and their own strengths and weaknesses. The best way to shortlist would be to select two-three coaching centers based on physical closeness and fee. From those, take trial classes. You need them to get hands-on classroom experience to really tell which one is better.
We can’t pass a definite judgment on which of these coaching classes is better or worse. It depends on your requirements and you can be the best judge when it comes to assessing your needs.
