Build English skills that last.
Whether you are starting from the basics, looking to improve your spoken English or preparing for an academic or professional environment, LEAD Linguistic can help you identify the areas you need to develop and connect you with the right learning support.
- 4 tracks
- A1 to C2 six levels
- Karachi or online
General English
For learners who want to improve their overall English ability.
A balanced programme that strengthens all four skills together, at the level your assessment shows, so progress in one skill supports the others. Grammar starts to make sense, the words you learn are ones you will use, and reading gets a little quicker every week.
Who it is for
School and college students, beginners rebuilding their foundations, and anyone who wants all round English.
Sounds like you if
- You understand more than you can say or write.
- Grammar mistakes slip in even when you know the rule.
- You want every skill to improve, not just one.
- You are coming back to English after a break.
Focus areas
- Grammar
- Vocabulary
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Speaking
- Everyday communication
and after that? Once your base is steady, many learners move on to Spoken English, Academic English or IELTS preparation.
Spoken English
For individuals who want to communicate more confidently.
Lots of guided speaking in a safe setting: conversation practice, clear pronunciation, natural phrases and the confidence to keep going when you make a mistake. The aim is simple. When it is your turn to talk, you talk.
Who it is for
Students and professionals who understand English but freeze when they have to speak it.
Sounds like you if
- You go quiet when it is your turn to speak.
- You translate in your head before every sentence.
- You avoid words because you are unsure how to say them.
- You want to speak up in class, at work or with family abroad.
Focus areas
- Conversation
- Pronunciation
- Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Confidence
- Everyday communication
and after that? Spoken English pairs well with IELTS Speaking practice once you are ready for the test.
Academic English
For students preparing for academic environments.
The English of university study: reading academic texts, writing structured essays, presenting confidently and communicating with tutors and classmates. We prepare you for the lecture hall before you are sitting in one.
Who it is for
A Level and university students, and anyone planning to study in English at home or abroad.
Sounds like you if
- You are heading into A Levels, university or a course taught in English.
- Your essays have good ideas but lose their thread.
- Long academic texts take you far longer than they should.
- You need to present, discuss and email tutors with confidence.
Focus areas
- Academic vocabulary
- Essay writing
- Presentations
- Reading
- Research communication
- Academic communication
and after that? Many university applicants combine Academic English with IELTS Academic preparation.
Professional English
For students and professionals.
The English that gets you hired and heard: interviews, clear emails, meetings, presentations and the vocabulary of your field. Built around the situations you actually face at work, not the ones in a textbook.
Who it is for
Graduates entering the job market and professionals who use English at work.
Sounds like you if
- You have an interview, a new job or a promotion coming up.
- Your emails take too long, or sound too blunt or too stiff.
- You stay quiet in meetings even when you have something to add.
- You want the vocabulary of your own field.
Focus areas
- Interviews
- Presentations
- Meetings
- Emails
- Workplace communication
- Professional vocabulary
and after that? If a job abroad is part of the plan, ask us about IELTS General Training as well.

Questions about English classes.
Something else on your mind? Ask on WhatsApp and a person from our team replies, usually the same day.
Q1Which track should I choose?
Start with your level rather than the name of a course. Most people begin with General English, because it strengthens all four skills together. If your English is already steady and you have a clear goal, such as speaking with confidence, studying at university or working in English, one of the other tracks may suit you better. Take the free level check, send us the result and we will tell you honestly where to start.
Q2How will you recommend a learning pathway?
We look at your level check result, what you want English for (school, university, work or confidence), your target score and exam date if you have one, how you prefer to learn and when you are free. Then we recommend the right type of English or IELTS support and coordinate it with you.
Q3Do you teach online or in person?
Both. In person learning is in Karachi, subject to availability, and online learning can be arranged for learners anywhere in Pakistan. Tell us which you prefer and we will recommend the best option.
Q4How much do lessons cost?
It depends on the track, the format and how many sessions suit you, so the schedule and fees are agreed with you before you start. The level check, mock tests, games and practice tools on this website are free.
Q5Can parents get in touch for their child?
Yes. Tell us your child’s class and what worries you about their English, and we will talk you through where to start. We normally involve a parent or guardian before arranging lessons for anyone under 18.
Q6Will I get a certificate?
The free level check is an honest indication of your level, not an official CEFR or IELTS certificate. If you need an official result for a university or an employer, we can talk you through which test is usually asked for.
Not sure which track? Start with your level.
Take the free level check, then talk to our team about the right pathway. There is no pressure to book anything.
