What level do I need to be to takes your courses?
We help learners who are at IELTS 5.0 or above.
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 long are the courses?
The length of a course depends on what a particular learner needs. Some learners take our courses for a few weeks just before their exam to get our advice on how to improve their IELTS Band Score. Others take our courses for a few months to help them improve their English before taking the IELTS exam.
When you register for a course, we discuss your language learning needs and goals and then together decide on the most appropriate course length.
How many weeks should I study for?
Every learner has different language learning needs and goals and so different learners study for different amounts of time. Some learners take our courses for a few months to help them improve their English before taking the IELTS exam. Others take our courses for a few weeks just before their exam to get our advice on how to improve their IELTS Band Score.
When you register for a course, we discuss your language learning needs and goals and then together decide on the most appropriate course length.
How will I improve my grammar and vocabulary on your courses?
On our courses you are given individual feedback on your writing and 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?
On the Standard option courses, most learners spend between one and a half and two hours per week on the various tasks. This time includes the time spent on the writing task, the 30-minute speaking session and checking individual feedback.
On the Intensive option courses, most learners spend between three and four hours on the various tasks.
On either option, you can complete the tasks at a time that is convenient for you.
