Partnership proposal

Help your students succeed — we handle English proficiency

English proficiency support · Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Your students need an English language proficiency certificate — but weak prep, costly tests, and exam-day logistics keep stalling applications. Whether you guide students abroad, run a school or university, or arrange travel, that pressure lands on you too.

Lingua is based in Addis Ababa — we handle Duolingo English Test, TOEFL, and IELTS preparation, test purchase, and exam-room support so your students move forward and your team stays focused on placement.

Who this is for

  • Study abroad consultancies
  • Schools
  • Universities
  • Travel agents

If your clients or students need an English proficiency certificate to study, work, or travel abroad, this proposal is for you.

The challenges you face

  • Students stuck without a certificate — applications on hold, momentum lost
  • Your team fielding questions about which test to take, how to buy it, and where to sit the exam
  • Delays and failed attempts reflecting on the organization students trusted to guide them

How Lingua helps: we take English proficiency off your plate — structured prep, test purchase, and exam-room support from first consultation to certificate. You keep focus on visas, placement, and counselling. Your students get a path they can actually finish.

What Lingua brings

  • DET preparation in Addis Ababa since 2022, with TOEFL iBT and IELTS launching soon
  • ~24 hr DET results when students purchase through Lingua (vs ~48 hr standard)
  • End-to-end support: consultation, 1:1 prep, digital practice, test purchase, and exam-room assistance
  • Monthly DET giveaway starting September 2026 — filtered review, identity check, then random selection you can share with your audience
  • Clear student journey your team can explain in one conversation
