Learn from the Leader!

SLIG has been the market leader in TOEFL instruction with several generations of the TOEFL since 1992. We are probably one of the first consultancies in Nepal to teach TOEFL courses. We are the leaders for several reasons:
1. The Course curriculum and content: Our curriculum is world class and attuned to the typical cognitive patterns of Nepalese students.
2. The Teachers: They are leaders in obtaining the outcomes their students need.
3. The Facilities: Library, Lab, Online Library, Daily assignments, online practice- what else do you need?
The Results! This is the difference between SLIG and the rest of the pack. Our results are exceptional and we ensure that students get the results they need for entry into institutions worldwide.
