As March draws to a close, it’s time for another round-up of what’s been happening behind the scenes at English With An Expert.
While we haven’t travelled far this month, we’ve been laying strong foundations—setting up our new base, preparing updated lesson materials, and continuing to support students around the world.
This issue includes a look at where our students are based, what we’ve been working on, and how Yomna went from struggling with writing to securing the IELTS score she needed for her Master’s degree.
If you’re preparing for IELTS or OET in 2025, there’s something here for you.
Where We’ve Been
We haven’t ventured far from our office in March, but we have been very busy establishing ourselves and setting up our new home.
We are installing several new backdrops for current and future webinars, lesson series and other new products!
Website and Social Media News
Once again we have been very active and you can see new model essays and content on our blog page.

Where Our Students Come From
We work with students across the globe—each with different goals, accents, and challenges.
Some are preparing for university. Others are applying for immigration or professional registration. A few are native speakers who just need help passing the test.
Wherever you’re from, whatever your reason, you’re in good company.

Taiwan; Hong Kong; Shanghai, China; Manila, the Philippines; Hanoi, Vietnam; Bombay, India; Darwin, Australia; Johannesburg, South Africa; Harare, Zimbabwe; Paris, France
Student Spotlight
From 5.5 to 7 in Just 11 Lessons – Meet Yomna
When Yomna first reached out, she needed a Band 7 in IELTS to secure a place on her chosen Master’s programme. Her writing score had stubbornly stuck at 5.5—despite all her efforts.
In just 11 targeted lessons, we identified her weak areas, rebuilt her confidence, and steadily raised her performance.
By the end of our work together, she had not only improved her writing score to a solid 7, but achieved an overall Band 7 and submitted a successful university application.
“Andy pin-pointed my weaknesses and improved them in just 11 lessons. I was so down and didn’t believe I could do it—but I did. I think what he did was a miracle.”
Yomna’s story reminds us that a few well-directed lessons can change everything. Writing doesn’t need to be a barrier—and the right guidance makes a world of difference.
Is Yomna’s dream your dream? Would you like to achieve her level of success in 2025? We can help!
