My experience at RCIIS was amazing, the classes were very organized and entertaining, better than what I expected. The English for Academic Purposes class really prepares you for college. By the end of each month, you’ll actually be surprised by how noticeable your improvements are. You will feel more confident in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Kudos to the whole Admission Hub team especially Meenakshi and Mia for making a dream come true.
I recently had the opportunity to work with Meenakshi & Mia from Admission Hub to firm up my Student visa application and i must admit that they, along with all their colleagues have been super helpful and extremely supportive along the whole process. They were not only very knowledgeable but also shared valuable advice and insights along the way. To ensure that everything is wrapped up seamlessly, i would definitely recommend reaching out to the Admission Hub team if you are seeking the services of an education consultant, they are the best in town.
