Chamindu's Five · PTE ONE TO ONE COACHING · BY APPLICATIONFive students a month. That's all I take.

You'll take the theory from one of our courses — I don't teach the same lessons twice. What you get from me is everything after that: your practice read personally, your plan built and rebuilt, and time with me every week until you have your score.

No payment until I've accepted you.

A note from Chamindu

Why I only take five

I could take twenty. The money would be better and the work would be easier.

But this isn't a class. When I take someone on, I'm reading their practice, listening to their recordings and rebuilding their plan personally — and then sitting down with them at the weekend to work through it. Five is the number where I can still do that properly. Six and something starts slipping.

It also means I have to choose. I run a placement test before I say yes, because I'm not going to take 150,000 rupees from someone if I don't believe I can get them to their target by their date. If a course would do the job instead, I'll tell you that — and you'll keep the difference.

Find your fit

Who this is for

This is for you if…

  • You've sat PTE three or four times and the score won't move
  • Your visa, PR application or university offer is on a deadline
  • You've already done a course somewhere and it didn't work
  • You want one person responsible for your result, not a rotation of teachers
  • You can get to Nawinna at weekends, at least some of the time
  • You're prepared to do the work daily if someone tells you exactly what to do

A different route may fit better

  • You're sitting PTE for the first time — start with Rapid Boost or Deep Dive. You don't need this yet, and I'd rather you kept the money
  • You're expecting me to re-teach the theory one to one. I don't. You take the course, and I work with you on top of it
  • You want a guaranteed score without daily practice. I can't do that, and neither can anyone else
  • You're shopping on price. This is the most expensive thing we offer and it should be

Your course, with me alongside you

How it works

I don't teach the theory twice. You'll take it from Rapid Boost or Deep Dive — whichever suits you — and that's included in your fee. The techniques, the recordings, the portal, the practice platform: all of it.

What I add is the part a course can't give you. Every day, I read what you've practised and tell you exactly what's wrong with it. Then at the weekend we sit down together and fix it properly.

Your course, included

Rapid Boost or Deep Dive — all eight content sessions, every technique, the portal and the practice platform.

Daily feedback from me

Send me your practice and I'll tell you what's wrong with it — every day, personally. This is where the score actually moves.

Weekends with me at the centre

Face to face at Nawinna. Bring your questions, your recordings, whatever isn't working — we clear it in the room.

Scheduled online sessions

For the weeks you can't travel, or when something needs sorting before your next practice.

A plan built for you alone

Built from your placement test, and rebuilt whenever the results say it should change.

Direct access to me

My personal number, for the questions that can't wait until the weekend.

Full centre and exam room access

Use the exam simulation room whenever you need it, at no extra cost.

Before you apply

Please only apply if this is genuinely what you want

Most of our students don't need this. Rapid Boost and Deep Dive get people to their scores every month, and they cost a fraction of what this does. If either of those would work for you, take one of those instead — I'd honestly rather you did.

  • You've sat PTE at least once and the score isn't moving
  • You have a real target score and a real target date
  • You're able and willing to pay LKR 150,000
  • You can practise every day if I tell you what to practise

If any of those aren't true yet, that's completely fine — see Rapid Boost or Deep Dive instead.

A thoughtful application

What I'll ask you

This isn't a contact form. I need enough to make a real judgement, so here's exactly what you'll be sending me. It takes about fifteen minutes, and I read every application myself.

Your history with PTE

  • How many times you've sat the exam
  • Your overall score on each attempt
  • Which skill has been holding you back
  • What you've tried so far — self-study, another class, an app

Your target

  • The score you need
  • What it's for — PR, a visa, a university offer, professional registration
  • Your target exam date, and whether it's already booked

Your score report

  • A copy of your most recent PTE score report
  • A screenshot of your Skills Profile from your myPTE account (there's a short guide on the form showing where to find it)

Your speaking

  • A link to a Read Aloud task you've practised on ApeUni or AlphaPTE — your own recording, not a rehearsed one
  • I listen to it myself and check your pitch, rhythm and fluency. This tells me more in sixty seconds than any score report can

I go through everything personally and reply within 3 working days. If I can get you to your target by your date, we'll talk. If a course would serve you better, or my five places are already taken, I'll tell you that instead — and either way you'll get my honest read on your score report, free.

You don’t pay anything until I’ve accepted you.

Timing, need and capacity

If I don't take you on this month

There are only three reasons I say no, and none of them mean you can't get your score.

Whichever it is, you'll get my honest read on your score report, free, and a clear recommendation on what to do next. Nobody who applies walks away with nothing.

Your date is too close

If your exam is in two weeks and the gap is large, no amount of money fixes the calendar. We'll look at a later date, or get you started on a course now.

You don't need me

This is the most common one. If your score report tells me a course will get you there, I'll say so — because paying 150,000 for something Rapid Boost does is a waste of your money, not a compliment to mine.

My five places are taken

I don't take a sixth. If this month is full, you take the next one — and you can start a course in the meantime so you're not standing still.

A few things you might be wondering

Your questions, answered

Why is it so expensive?

Because you're buying my time, and I only have so much of it. Five students a month with unlimited access is roughly the same commitment as running a full batch. If the price feels high, one of our courses will almost certainly serve you better — and I'd genuinely rather you took that.

What does "until you pass" actually mean?

We keep working together until you reach the score you applied with. There's no fixed end date on my side. If you change your target later, we'll talk about it.

Do I have to take a course as well?

Yes, and it's included in the fee. You'll take the theory from Rapid Boost or Deep Dive — I don't teach the same lessons one to one, because that's an expensive way to learn something the course already does well. My time goes into your practice, your corrections and your plan.

Is there a fee for the placement test?

No. The application and my review of your score report cost you nothing.

How often do we actually meet?

Weekends at the centre in Nawinna, plus scheduled online sessions during the week when something needs sorting. You also have my number for the questions that can't wait.

What if I can't come to Nawinna at weekends?

Then this probably isn't the right fit, and one of our courses will serve you better. Most of the value here is in sitting down together and working through what's going wrong.

What if you're full this month?

I'll tell you, and you can take the next month's place. I won't take a sixth student just because someone asked. In the meantime you can start a course so you're not losing time.

If you turn me down, does that mean I can't get my score?

Not at all. I say no for three reasons only: your date is too close, my places are full, or a course will get you there without spending this much. None of them are about whether you're capable.

Take the next step

If you've read this far, you probably already know

Send me your score report and a voice note. I'll tell you honestly whether this is the right move for you — and if a course would get you there for less, I'll say that instead.
