LEADLinguistic
Every learner at LEAD Linguistic starts with a free assessment. Then we match you with the English or IELTS learning that fits your level, your goal and your timetable, in Gulshan-e-Iqbal or online anywhere in Pakistan.
Tap everything that is true for you today. It is not a test, just a way to see roughly where you stand before the real thing.
Every track starts from your assessed level, so nobody sits in a class that is too easy to be useful or too hard to follow.
For learners who want stronger all round English. Grammar, vocabulary and reading that hold up in real conversations, real emails and real classrooms.
More about General EnglishFor anyone who understands English but goes quiet when it is time to speak. Conversation, pronunciation and fluency, practised out loud until it feels normal.
More about Spoken EnglishFor students heading into English medium study, here or abroad. Academic vocabulary, essays that answer the question, and presentations you can deliver with confidence.
More about Academic EnglishFor graduates and working people. Interviews, meetings, presentations and emails that people actually reply to, in the English your workplace expects.
More about Professional EnglishFour modules, one test. Here is what you are preparing for, drawn to scale by how long each part actually takes.
30 minutes. 4 parts. 40 questions.
Four recordings, from an everyday conversation to an academic lecture, and you hear each one only once. You answer while you listen, so concentration matters as much as vocabulary. Same in Academic and General Training.
How we prepare you. We train the small habits that cost marks: spelling, plurals, and keeping up when a speaker corrects themselves halfway through a sentence.
6 free Listening mock tests
60 minutes. 3 sections. 40 questions.
Three long passages taken from books, journals and newspapers. The texts are demanding, but the real test is time: 40 questions in an hour leaves no room to read every word twice.
Short everyday and workplace texts first, such as notices, adverts and guidelines, then one longer general passage. Still 40 questions, still 60 minutes.
How we prepare you. Skimming, scanning and the TRUE, FALSE, NOT GIVEN logic that catches out even strong readers.
10 free Reading mock tests
60 minutes. 2 tasks. At least 400 words in total.
Task 1 asks you to describe a graph, table, chart or diagram in at least 150 words. Task 2 is an essay of at least 250 words, and it counts for more of your Writing band.
Task 1 is a letter of at least 150 words, formal or informal depending on the situation. Task 2 is an essay of at least 250 words, and it counts for more of your Writing band.
How we prepare you. Planning in minutes, paragraphs that answer the exact question asked, and vocabulary that is precise rather than just long.
85 writing tasks with model answers
11 to 14 minutes. 3 parts. Face to face with an examiner.
Part 1 is questions about you. Part 2 is a talk of up to two minutes from a cue card, with a minute to prepare. Part 3 is a deeper discussion of the same topic. It is sometimes held on a different day from the other three modules. Same in Academic and General Training.
How we prepare you. Fluent, natural answers instead of memorised ones, practised in conditions that feel like the real room.
50 cue cards and a speaking simulatorBand requirements vary by university, organisation, profession and immigration route. Always confirm the current requirement for your purpose before you book a test date.
Explore IELTS preparationWe coordinate your learning rather than selling you a course off the shelf. This is the route every learner takes with us.
Start with step oneTake the free English assessment online, at a time that suits you. It takes about 20 minutes.
We look at your result and at the goal behind it: a band score, a degree, a job, or simply the confidence to speak.
Someone from our team contacts you to talk it through properly, on a call or on WhatsApp.
We recommend the English or IELTS pathway that fits your level, your mode of learning and your timetable.
We arrange the lessons and learning support, in Karachi or online, so you can focus on the learning itself.
You keep moving towards your goal, and we keep checking that you are learning at the right level.
You do not have to study with us to use any of this. It is all original, built in the IELTS format where it says so, and free for everyone.
We will tell you your real level. We will never promise you a band score.
Your result depends on where you start, the work you put in and how the day goes. What we can promise is honesty about all three, a plan that fits your level, and real people who stay with you while you work through it.
What we stand for
LEAD Linguistic is part of LEAD Counseling, which guides students through choosing a university, applications, documents, visas and preparing to leave. When your English is ready, the same family can take you the rest of the way.
Something else on your mind? Ask on WhatsApp. A person from our team replies, usually the same day.
Ask on WhatsAppYes. There is no charge and no obligation to book lessons. You answer around 40 questions on grammar, vocabulary, reading and language use, which takes about 20 minutes, and you see an indicative level from A1 to C2 straight away.
No. It is an honest indication to guide your next step, not an official CEFR or IELTS certificate. It does not test speaking or writing; our team assesses those when we speak with you.
Yes, but usually not straight away. If your level is below about B1, building your general English first tends to lead to better IELTS results. We will tell you honestly where to start.
It depends on your starting level, your target band and how much time you can study. Moving up half a band often takes weeks of focused work, and a full band can take months. After your assessment we give you a realistic plan. We never guarantee a score.
Listening and Speaking are the same in both. Academic uses academic texts and tasks and is generally asked for by universities and some professional bodies. General Training uses everyday and workplace texts with a letter writing task, and is often used for work and migration. Always check which one your university or route asks for.
Both. In person learning is in Karachi, subject to availability, and online learning can be arranged for learners anywhere in Pakistan. Tell us your preference and we will recommend the best option.
Often, but not always. Many universities accept IELTS, and some accept other tests or evidence such as previous study in English. Requirements vary by university, course and country, and LEAD Counseling can help you confirm the one that applies to you.
Yes. All 16 IELTS format mock tests, 24 practice games, the band calculator and the writing and speaking question banks are free for everyone.
Tell us what you want your English for and we will suggest where to begin. No pressure to book anything.
