PTE and TOEFL Preparation Courses: a customer and a provider in a bright, modern setting

PTE Academic and TOEFL iBT are the two English tests, besides IELTS, that Singapore students and professionals are most often asked to sit for university applications, overseas study and some migration routes. Their task types differ from IELTS, so a general English class rarely prepares you for them, and a dedicated course can help you learn the formats. This guide lists six providers that publish a PTE or TOEFL preparation route on their own websites, with the delivery each one describes. It does not cover IELTS, which has its own guide. Use the entries to shortlist, then check each site for current intakes, fees and the exact test version it teaches.

1. The Princeton Review Singapore

The Princeton Review Singapore runs a dedicated TOEFL page that covers both the iBT and paper-based formats and walks through the four sections of Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. According to the page, a course begins with a pre-assessment mock test and continues with bi-weekly assessment tests, and it describes a regular batch and a faster batch for students on a shorter timeline. The site lists practice iBT exams with live feedback, booster sessions before test day and proctored tests. It says classes are available at its Somerset centre and in a live online format, with one-to-one sessions as an alternative. The page shows upcoming batch dates, so check it for current intakes. The same company also teaches IELTS, covered in a separate guide.

2. Icon Plus

Icon Plus describes itself as a Singapore test-preparation and admissions coaching company established in 1999, and says it is registered with the Ministry of Education; those are its own statements. It publishes separate pages for PTE Academic and for TOEFL preparation. Both pages mention coaching, practice tests and a free diagnostic test, which the site invites visitors to book through a form or by WhatsApp. The TOEFL page says each student receives one-to-one attention and individual feedback, which it highlights as especially useful for the speaking section. Icon Plus also teaches a wider set of admissions tests, so it can suit students who need English tests alongside university application support. The pages publish no street address or phone number, so use the contact form.

3. Training Dynamics

Training Dynamics publishes a PTE preparatory course covering both PTE Academic and PTE Core, which is useful if you are unsure which version your university or visa route accepts. Its page describes three package levels that differ by pacing, length of course access and the number of mock tests with feedback, and says every package includes unlimited revision sessions. Classes are described as small-group and hybrid, so students can attend at its Orchard Plaza centre or join live over Zoom and switch between the two. The site lists typical evening and Sunday timings, says missed classes can be made up, and offers a consultation or online enrolment route. It also teaches IELTS and OET, though no TOEFL course is listed.

4. Stalford Academy

Stalford Academy is an English-language school whose TOEFL Preparatory Course is a full-time classroom programme rather than an evening class. Its page says the course runs for twelve weeks with monthly intakes, with lessons on weekday mornings and afternoons, and that applicants take a placement test first. The school says the course is aimed especially at students who have completed its Certificate in General English at the intermediate or advanced level, and that applicants must be above a stated minimum age. That makes it a good fit for people who can study full time before a university or pathway programme. The page lists a postal address but tells visitors to contact the school for the lesson venue of each intake.

5. Manhattan Review

Manhattan Review is a test-preparation company headquartered in New York that runs courses in Singapore, so it suits students who want a structured TOEFL class from an international provider. Its Singapore page lists an in-person classic course of 28 class hours held on weekends, with several start dates listed for late 2026. It also describes private tutoring packages, available in person or live online, plus a one-to-one private course and a free online practice test. The page names a hotel on Orchard Road as the Singapore venue and asks students to email before visiting, because staff are not usually on site. Fees are published on the site; check them and the current schedule before booking.

6. PTE University

PTE University is a small, teacher-led PTE preparation class run under the name of its instructor, who presents the course on a dedicated website. The site describes four face-to-face Saturday evening classes in the Bras Basah and Bugis area, covering Writing, Speaking, Reading, Listening, grammar and vocabulary for both PTE Academic and PTE Core. It lists printed notes, recorded videos, homework and a fortnightly Zoom support class as part of the course. Enrolment is by WhatsApp, contact form or a payment link. The site makes pass-count claims and shows several promotional offers that do not agree with each other, so treat those as marketing and ask what is currently on offer before paying.

How to choose

Check which test you actually need first. Universities, colleges and visa routes name PTE Academic, PTE Core or TOEFL iBT specifically, and TOEFL iBT has been revised in recent years. Confirm the requirement with the institution, then ask each provider which version and format its current course teaches.
Match the course format to your schedule. Some providers here run short evening or weekend classes, one runs a twelve-week full-time programme, and others offer private tutoring or live online lessons. Ask whether you can switch between online and classroom, and what happens if you miss a session.
Look at the mock tests and feedback. Ask how many full-length practice tests are included, how they are scored, who gives feedback on Speaking and Writing, and how quickly. A published diagnostic or placement test is a useful way to see how a provider assesses your starting level.
Treat results claims with caution. Pass counts, guarantees and early-bird offers are the provider's own marketing, and promotional prices can conflict from page to page. Ask for current terms in writing, and be wary of any promise about the exact score you will receive.
Read what each provider says about its credentials and venue. Several describe registrations or partnerships in their own words, so ask what exactly they cover. Also confirm where lessons are held, who teaches them and their experience with your test, and whether the venue matches the site.
