IELTS Band 7+. Not luck — strategy.
Since 1998 I've coached hundreds of candidates from Band 6 to Band 7, 8, and 9 — with the kind of detailed feedback a generic prep course can't give you.
The Test, Section by Section
Four sections. One coach walking you through every one of them.
Listening
4 sections, 40 questions, one playback only. We train prediction before you hear the audio.
Reading
3 passages, 40 questions. Skimming and scanning strategy saves 15 minutes most students lose.
Writing
Task 1 report/letter, Task 2 essay — worth double. Band 7+ develops one idea fully instead of listing many.
Speaking
Part 3 decides your final band. Short answers cap you at 6 — extended, developed answers reach 7+.
