Dear Bindia A,
Just dropping you a quick note to say thanks for all your support during my time in the CELPIP coaching program. It's been a minute since we last spoke, but I'm sure you remember our chats. After finishing up the program, I ran into a few unexpected bumps, like not having any CELPIP test centers in my city (Kolkata) and dealing with some family stuff, especially the passing of my grandmother. Despite all that, I stayed focused on my goals and even prepped for the CAT exam.
Unfortunately, those hurdles did affect my CAT performance a bit, and I ended up with a modest 92 percentile in 2023. But I'm choosing to see it as a chance to grow. So, I've decided to take a year off to regroup and aim for a much higher percentile in the next exam.
In the meantime, I decided to take the IELTS this year, using what I learned in your CELPIP classes and some extra help from YouTube. I'm happy to report I scored an overall 8.0, partly thanks to your guidance and encouragement. While there's always room for improvement, this score meets my current needs, matching CLB Level 10 according to the IELTS website. I've attached my scorecard for you to check out.
Once again, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your dedication and support throughout my journey. Your words of encouragement and well wishes have played a significant role in my achievements, and for that, I am truly grateful.
Thanks again for everything.
Yours sincerely,
Saunak Kumar Sah
