IELTS Preparation Course Review - Amanda achieved IELTS Band 8

Amanda, 3D Animator

Vancouver, BC

I had an IELTS private course (8 hours) with Kent and took classes for 3 weeks. I chose a private course because I did the IELTS exam before and I wanted to have a tailored approach to improve my scores I had to get it for my university admission. Kent was super responsive from day one. He gave me valuable advice and feedback to raise my scores and build my confidence for the IELTS test. He was easy to follow and really friendly. I think he genuinely loves teaching people. I am sure Kent can help you get better at any IELTS level.

Sejin, Student

New Westminster, BC

I had IELTS preparation classes with Kent, and he’s honestly the best. He genuinely cares about your learning, not just your results. His teaching made such a difference in my IELTS writing, speaking, reading, and listening that I scored a 7.5—and I was ready to keep studying with him, but I didn’t need to! If you need a teacher who actually invests in you, Kent’s the one. Highly recommend!

Kent is one of the best English teachers I have had classes with. During my IELTS test preparation course, he helped me to maximize my score and reach an 8 on my test.

How We Help Students Reach Their Target IELTS Bands

5 Key Steps

Here are the 5 key steps we use to help our students reach their target IELTS levels in the writing, speaking, listening and reading sections of test :)

  • Understand the Exam

Understanding the exam is always the first step to achieving your IELTS target scores. All of our group and private courses provide you with a full introduction to the IELTS test in the writing, speaking, listening and reading sections. ​For Reading and Listening, we help you understand the way the exam is designed and the kinds of questions you'll get. For Writing and Speaking, we introduce you to the kinds of tasks you will need to complete and show you what you are supposed to write and speak about.

  • Get Good Strategies

Learning smart strategies are also essential for passing IELTS. For Reading and Listening, you have to learn to identify all the right answers and the ones which are not right. For Writing and Speaking, you should know how to develop and structure your answers the way IELTS wants. We show you these strategies for every skill in clear, step-by-step lessons so you'll learn exactly what to do in every section after each class is done.

  • Get Checked

Most people taking IELTS need some corrections and feedback on their Writing and Speaking if they want to reach their target IELTS band. 90% of people taking the exam are not native speakers, so it's even more critical to get your answers, organization, vocab, grammar, punctuation, fluency and pronunciation checked. If you don't, you may be stuck at one level, get stressed out, and waste a lot of time and money. But, we also show you what you're really good at. It's important to hear these positives as well. It's never as bad as you think ;)

  • Learn TO Self-study

One of the most important ways to achieve your targets is by learning how to self-study at home. Building vocabulary for Reading and Listening absolutely increases scores when done in the right way. Also, correcting your mistakes and knowing how to fix them in Writing and Speaking are also vital if you want to improve. Our group and private courses show you how to self-study so you can keep improving by doing homework. 

  • Practice Often

Nobody gets better without regular practice. Once you understand the exam, have effective strategies, get feedback and learn to self-study at home, the only thing remaining is for you to practice, practice, practice. This is the last piece of the puzzle. We can help you with steps 1-4, but step 5 is up to you ;)
