As part of the registration process, we will ask if you have taken an IELTS test before and/or make an assessment of your English language level.

How many weeks should I have tutoring for?

Every IELTS candidate has different language learning needs and goals and so different candidates use our tutoring service for different lengths of time.

Some candidates have tutoring for a few months to help them improve their English before taking the IELTS test. Others have tutoring for a few weeks just before their exam to get our advice on how to improve their IELTS Band Score.

If you are unsure of how long you need tutoring for, contact us so we can discuss your language learning needs and goals, and then together decide on how much help you need.

You need to have a minimum of four speaking sessions and/or four writing tasks. You can do these in one week or over two or more weeks.

How will I improve my grammar and vocabulary using your tutoring service?

Our IELTS tutoring options include individual feedback on your writing and/or speaking skills. This feedback is often focused on helping you understand and use a wider range of grammar and vocabulary.

How many hours a week will I have to study?

For each writing task, you will need time to do the task, check your individual feedback and look at the example answer. This can range from 1 to 2 hours, depending on how long it takes you to do the writing.

For each speaking session, you will need time to look at the pre-sepaking task and discussion questions, have your 30-minute speaking session, and check your individual feedback. This can range from 45 minutes to over 1 hour, depending on how much time you take to prepare for your speaking session.

On all of our IELTS tutoring options, you can complete the tasks at a time that is convenient for you.
