What IELTS is and how we prepare you
- 15years of experience

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is an international English exam accepted by universities, employers and immigration authorities in many countries. You get a band score from 0 to 9 for each part and an overall score.
The exam has two modules: Academic, for university admission, and General Training, for work and immigration. Listening and Speaking are the same for both; Reading and Writing differ. We prepare you for the module you need.
We start by assessing your current level and target score, build a study plan around your exam date and track your progress with regular practice tests.
Who it’s for
University admission abroad
Most universities abroad require a certain IELTS Academic score — we’ll help you get it.
Work and immigration
IELTS General Training is required for work and immigration programmes, for example in Canada, Australia or the UK.

We’ll explain the format, rules and timing so there are no surprises on exam day.
Preparation programme
We work on each part of the exam separately — and on the exam as a whole.
Listening
4 parts, about 30 minutes: learning not to get lost in the audio, write answers correctly and not lose points on details.
Reading
Three sections in 60 minutes: skimming and scanning strategies, task types and time management.
Writing
Task 1 and Task 2: structure, assessment criteria, vocabulary and grammar for a higher band. We review your writing with detailed feedback.
Speaking
A three-part interview with an examiner: practising answers, fluency and pronunciation.
Practice tests
Taking the exam in conditions close to the real thing, then reviewing mistakes in detail.
Study plan
A schedule built around your exam date and target score.

How long does IELTS preparation take?
It depends on your current level and target score. If you’re already close, a few months of intensive preparation may be enough; if the gap is bigger, it will take longer. We’ll give you a clearer estimate after the trial lesson.
What level do I need to start preparing?
IELTS preparation works best from around B1. If your level is lower, we’ll first build up your general English and then move on to the exam format.
What’s the difference between IELTS Academic and General Training?
Listening and Speaking are the same. Academic has harder Reading texts, and in Writing Task 1 you describe a graph, table or chart; General Training has texts on everyday topics and a letter in Writing Task 1. Academic is for study; General Training is for work and immigration.
Do you guarantee a particular score?
Honestly, no: the result also depends on your work between lessons. But we do everything to make sure you walk into the exam prepared — knowing the format, with a strategy for each part and feeling confident.
How much does IELTS preparation cost?
It depends on the format and intensity — ask in your request or message us on Instagram. Your first trial lesson is free.
