As the first language training institution in the country to advocate small-class education, Lange has achieved an annual revenue of more than 500 million yuan in more than ten years, and its refined operation of small classes has made giants such as New Oriental and Global IELTS highly nervous.
Founded in 1999, Accord is in the prime of life in the language training industry, and currently has at least 50 campuses in 31 cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Wuxi, Guangzhou, etc., and was rated as a Class A school unit in 2002, and was awarded the title of IELTS official platinum partner in 2014, maintaining a score rate of 88%-91% all year round.
The curriculum system and class types of Lange are relatively simple. The initial stage (96 hours) and the preparatory stage (96 hours) are introductory, which mainly train students to think about abstract things, discuss IELTS hot topics in English, and use a certain number of clauses in the discussion; The foundation stage (96 class hours) and breakthrough stage (64 class hours) are suitable for advanced level learning, which expands the depth and breadth of IELTS questions in the course, sorts out the test mode and solution skills of various question types, and achieves a correct rate of more than 50%; The high-quality stage (128 class hours), the 65 stage (64 class hours) and the seven-point sprint (128 class hours) are intended to score points, through a large density of mock test questions, so that students can be familiar with the four subjects of IELTS listening, speaking, reading and writing, and at the same time, the course also pays attention to shaping the psychological quality of the test, ensuring that more than 65% of the questions are correct and 6.5 or even 7 points or more.
The above courses have 3-6 students and 10-12 students in the medium class to choose from, the teaching content is the same, the small class is 95 yuan per class hour, the medium class is 48 yuan per class hour, the price gap is large, you may wish to try to negotiate the price before signing up. If the IELTS score does not meet the standard within one year after the end of the course, you can retake the same type of course for free. It should be noted that small classes guarantee the total score and individual subject scores, and medium classes only guarantee the total score.
Langge's current products are still mainly for study abroad training, among which IELTS is the majority, and its relatively low price attracts many students. It is worth noting that although Lange claims to receive official teacher training and certification from ETS every year, the quality of teachers is still uneven.
