School’s Out: IELTS and OET Teaching Stories – 2024 in Review

Dec 30, 2024 | IELTS Test

Another year has flown by, and what a year it has been! As we wrap up 2024, let’s look back at the milestones, achievements, and stories that made this year remarkable.

What we’ve done - englishwithanexpert.com

Where We’ve Been

This year has been a whirlwind of activity. We traveled to inspiring locations, including Blackpool’s seaside charm, the lively graduation halls of Warwick University, and the construction site of our new environmentally friendly office set to open next year.

We also expanded our professional horizons by meeting with Mark Hancock, an expert in pronunciation techniques, and by exploring Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate to deepen our insights into premier educational institutions.

Digitally, we’ve helped clients worldwide realise their dreams, from successful immigration to securing prestigious scholarships and have started running group programmes so that we can reach even more students.

Website News

Our blog continued to grow as a hub for IELTS and migration resources. This year, we published numerous model answers, including essays on technology’s impact on society, fashion trends, and process diagrams for university applications.

We also introduced resources on using linking words effectively and pronunciation tips leveraging AI tools. Additionally, our News Tracker provided updates on new IELTS Test Result Form formats and changes to immigration requirements.
