The interest towards PTE is getting bigger and bigger. PTE is an official test of English and it is the direct competitor of IELTS. It’s a computer-based test and results are available to test-takers within five business days. PTE is accepted by thousands of universities worldwide, including prestigious institutions such as Harvard Business School, INSEAD and Yale. PTE is also accepted for visa purposes by the Australian and New Zealand governments.
SMEAG English will launch an intensive PTE course on the 6th of May to celebrate our first anniversary. Our PTE course will guide students through the format of this new test that is becoming more and more popular among students. Our teachers are PTE experts and will focus on strategies and skills to help students achieve their score.
Before launching our PTE course, we invited our partner agents for a demo class to show them how we are going to deliver the lessons and strategies in order to encourage their students. Also, we will invite students for a PTE demo class this coming Tuesday, 16th of April. It will be a nice opportunity to experience the PTE test conditions, test exercises and ask any questions they would like.

Today, We are going to show you what we’ve achieved over our 1st year at SMEAG English. To date, we have reached over 100 students counting a variety of international students from Italy, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Vietnam, Thailand, Chile, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, etc. Also, our teachers are from all over the world: New Zealand, the United States, Poland, Colombia, Scotland and, of course, Australia.
It is literally a great opportunity to be exposed to diverse accents from different countries in order to improve students’ English listening skills. Our teachers are fantastic! They’re always mingling with our students, playing board games, drinking coffee or tea during the break time and even make it a point to help them learn more by engaging in educational conversations. Some of our teachers sometimes keep delivering lessons before and after class. Recently, we have planned to launch a 2-week intensive PTE course in May. We hope that we can help our students achieve their goals even more while having fun at SMEAG English!

The Melbourne Town Hall is where you can buy tickets and see the night’s schedule, and you can even meet comedians outside inviting you to see their shows. Some of the numerous acts this year include musical tributes and performances, such as the Noughty Girls and Taco Knight. There is puppetry and crime with the Bunk Puppets and a mixture of philosophy and comedy in The Return of Grazie Fibonacci.
If you’re looking for something a little cheaper, why not try out some sketch comedy performances? For under $15, there are one man acts, such as William Richards, or midnight sessions like Conspiracy Up Late.
And for free shows, why not check out Cho Kairin, King of the Chinese Acrobats, perform in the Melbourne Museum Plaza? Winner of the World Championship of Daidogei (Performers), he’ll be bringing a dangerous balancing show on a tower of chairs. Or, you can head on down to Highlander Bar, which presents an array of local acts every night, including Aaron Aardvark, who broke attendance levels last year. Sit back with friends and enjoy a beer and some interesting takes on Scottish cuisine while having a laugh.
And, if you have a great time at the comedy festival, there are plenty of other places in Melbourne where you can watch comedians perform every week. There’s free entry to the Lido Cinemas every Tuesday to see a number of comedians perform in the Jazz Room. There are comedy clubs like Quick Bites, which offer free Monday sessions. You can see both seasoned and amateur comedians take the stage to try make you laugh. At Voltaire you can be entertained by a variety of performers.

Last Sunday, SMEAG English soccer team made its first appearance on the pitch! It was an incredibly sunny day and our students and teachers had a lot of fun together. The soccer tournament involved 8 teams made of 7 players each. The teams competed against each other and went through semi-finals and finals, like how professionals play the game. There were sweat and heavy panting but there was a lot of laughter and fun as well! We took a lot of pictures before, during and after the match. In fact, we posted the pictures on our Instagram and Facebook page! Check them out and like them so that our players will feel your support from afar.
Unfortunately, our SMEAG English soccer team didn’t make it through the finals, but our players came back to school on Monday with great enthusiasm and tanned skin after a great day spent together outdoors! Well, this was just the beginning; we are definitely ready for our next chance to play and win in July!

It is quite an intensive course that focuses on raising English at an academic level. These are 10-week courses, for a total duration of 20 weeks if taken together so that learners can develop autonomy, consult their teacher and seek academic support. Furthermore, anyone who graduates from those courses and/or from General English (Upper-Intermediate) is eligible to enter our higher education partnership providers.

Anyone who is visiting Melbourne for the first time will be on their way to Melbourne for a milestone on the Flinders Street Station building, a symbol of Melbourne and a symbol of Melbourne’s ‘travel’. Under the giant wall clock at the station entrance, you will find a lot of people taking a celebratory picture with a bright expression.
This yellow building symbolizes the ‘old days’ of Melbourne. Melbourne’s first railway station, built in 1854, connects the city with the suburbs. Today, more than 110,000 people use the station on an average daily basis.
The old-fashioned exterior of Flinders Street Station blends in with the arches of the Princess Bridge on the Yarra River. A huge wall clock hanging in the middle of the history is a staple of Melbourne’s old value. Take the Melbourne City Circle Tram to hear the history of this building. The Campbell Arcade, which connects to the underground station, is always open for new exhibits and attractions, and there is also a word-of-mouth cafe for the Melvinian.
