Struggling To Get Band 8.0?

Who We Help

Every week I meet with professionals from engineers to dentists who have the same problem – achieving the IELTS score they need. They come from places like the Middle East, Asia, Canada and even the UK. Most are proficient in English; some are native speakers who may even teach English.

They all want to emigrate to countries like Australia, Canada and the UK, and only one thing stands in their way – IELTS.

Why We Stand Out

Let me explain briefly- if you want to know more keep on scrolling past our price boxes and there we go into a lot more detail.

We’re different because we aren’t just English teachers, we have real experience with the actual test. We have the knowledge that can make a big difference in your life, and that could make the difference between success and failure.

We’re different because our lessons are 75-minute long – this allows us to drill deeper into your English than other schools. We don’t just correct the mistakes; we help you re-write your essay or improve your pronunciation until you really stand out.

Progress In Half The Time

Our lessons are 75 minutes long – that’s almost twice the length of many other schools.

Unique Techniques & Tools

We have developed a suite of tools and techniques unique to our school.

Our lessons use a unique Contextual Double Correction © technique we developed ourselves. 

During the lesson, we waste little time writing down new rules – or looking at rules you already use correctly. Instead, our teachers call up our 80/20 Grammar Genie ©. It has taken us years to develop and will save you many minutes of class time.

At the end of every Speaking and Writing lesson, we leave you with a Linguistic Hit List which reduces your challenge down to a handful of rules you must master to achieve your goals. 

See our video course for an in-depth analysis of how you should approach the General Writing Task 1, and analysis of the biggest mistakes candidates make.

Optional Stress Management Lesson With An Expert

Sometimes it’s not just grammar that’s getting in your way – it can be stress and your nerves also.

We have formed an exclusive partnership with a Stress Management Expert to help you.

In one 75-minute session, they will teach you techniques to help calm you before, during and after test day. The session is designed specifically for students taking the IELTS test and takes full account of the test day environment.

What You Will Get

“I am a German engineer with the opportunity to work in Australia. For the immigration I need a good IELTS score and took part in other classes without success. After a number of lessons with Andy I took the test again and got the needed score. He is a great teacher and shows you precisely what you are doing wrong. All lessons were a lot of fun to me and can recommend him to everyone who wants do work on their mistakes to get their dream result.”Sebastian, Germany

What To Do Next

 

First of all, we will give you a free 20-minute IELTS discovery session, during which we will discuss your results so far, and the score you need.

For students we accept, we create a syllabus or roadmap designed to help you nail the test once and for all.

The IELTS teacher we assign you will upload your lesson schedule to your student folder so that you can see what you will learn before you pay.

More Reasons Why We Stand Out

 

We’re different because we aren’t just English teachers, we have real experience with the actual test. We have the knowledge that can make a big difference in your life, and that could make the difference between success and failure.

As a teacher with over 23 years experience, I bring a lot to the table. I have been involved with the IELTS test in one form or another for more than half of that time. So have my team, sometimes in jobs we are not allowed to mention.

During my 20+ years as an English teacher, I have also been a course designer, programme director, chief examiner and much more.

I have headed up language programmes for an international company across an entire continent and led the most successful IELTS programme for an international University with campuses in over 30 countries. 

Our lessons will identify your weaknesses – the exact reasons you are failing to achieve the score you need, and then help you to overcome them. We will show you what you need to do to move to the next level and cheer you on your way.

75-minute lessons allow us to drill deeper into your English than other schools. We don’t just correct the mistakes, we also show you how to improve your vocabulary and cohesion, and pronunciation and rhythm, and keep on polishing until you really stand out.

Why You Will Progress In Half The Time

 

 

Our lessons are 75 minutes long – that’s almost twice the length of many other schools.

75-minute lessons help you to progress faster. Instead of sitting down to start a new lesson, your lesson will continue uninterrupted saving you the formality and time wasted at the beginning of a lesson.

Instead of having to find space in your calendar for two lessons in a week – you only need to find time for one.

More Information About Our Unique Techniques & Tools

The 80/20 Grammar Genie © doesn’t just save you minutes of class time – it also saves you hours of learning more complex rules. Your English doesn’t need to be 100% to get a band 8.0 – it just needs to be 51% correct. Our 80/20 rules are snippets that will help you to reach at least 80% accuracy in a fraction of the time.

At the end of every Speaking and Writing lesson, we leave you with a Linguistic Hit List which reduces your challenge down to a handful of rules you must master to achieve your goals. Everything else you can ignore – this saves you a lot of time you might have wasted on areas you are already proficient in.

What You Will Get – Expanded Version

1. Personalised Lessons

You can throw away the textbook you used in high school because we will analyse YOUR English. In each and every lesson we will show you the precise areas you need to work on using the IELTS descriptors.

You will know where you are going wrong and what you have to do. Together, we will fix your English!

2. A Linguistic Hit List Of Your Most Common Mistakes

After each lesson, we will update a Linguistic Hit List of your most common mistakes. We aim to help you pass the test as soon as possible, by identifying and working on the exact areas holding you back.

The difference between a Band 6.5 and a 7.0 can be as little as one mistake, perhaps nothing more than a missing comma.

Many students only need to fix two or three areas of grammar to get their score.

3. A Video Recording Of Your Lesson – so you can listen again and again

We record every lesson and upload an MP4 and MP3 to your student folder.

Some of our students listen to their session again while driving to work, jogging or doing the washing.

They make use of every single minute!

Some of our students wrote to us months after our lessons finished, crediting us with their success. Why? They used the recordings of their lessons with techniques we taught them to help get them over the line.

They bought 10 lessons – but the recordings turned them into 15 or even 30 hour worth of our time.

4. A Copy Of All Lesson Notes

We upload all lesson files to your student folder, and you can review your lesson whenever you like.

Who Should Apply For Our IELTS Lessons?

You should apply when…

  • there is MORE than a month before your test date
  • you have access to a computer
  • you have access to a quiet place to take lessons
  • there is enough time in your schedule for homework

You will also need an international debit or credit card.

Our lessons charge a fair price and lead to real success. Remember one of our lessons lasts twice as long as many other schools. We don’t watch the clock and our lessons can run over the scheduled time when necessary.

Studying with us will save you the time and the expense of taking the test again and again. You can put IELTS behind you and get on with your life!
