IELTS Preparation Review - Reached IELTS Band 8 (Amanda)

Amanda, 3D Animator

Vancouver, BC

I took IELTS preparation course (8 hours of private classes) with Kent for about 3 weeks. I decided to take this course because I have taken IELTS before and I knew I needed a tailored approach to boost the score I need for academic purposes. Kent is super responsive since the beginning. He gave me valuable tips and feedback to hopefully improve my score and my confidence for the IELTS test. He is easy to follow and really friendly. I think he genuinely loves helping people. I am confident Kent can help you get better from any level.

IELTS Score: 8

Sunny, ECE Teacher

"I studied with Kent. He was one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is caring, friendly and very knowledgeable about the IELTS exam and this helped me so much. At first, my IELTS score was 5.5, but at the end of my course, it went up to 6.5. If you want to get ready for the IELTS, I would strongly suggest you to prepare for it with him! You won't regret it."

IELTS Score: 6.5

"I've always studied by myself, so I wasn't sure about private classes, but I tried it because I needed to improve my IELTS scores. It was a good decision. Kent really helped me. He identified all my weaknesses at the beginning and gave me practical strategies to improve my scores. I would definitely recommend his classes!"
