Need help with IELTS Prep.? Look no further!

We offer you the formal training you require to pass the IELTS exam with flying colors.

OUR PROGRAM:

We provide individualized, one-to-one courses in all areas of both general and academic IELTS exam preparation including listening, reading, speaking, and writing.

CLASS STRUCTURE:

Starting with a comparative band assessment from which a baseline can be established, we utilize listening, reading, speaking, and writing sample prompts to provide you with the adequate training and preparation to help you attain your required IELTS band. To achieve these results, our classes focus on the following areas:​

- Spoken/conversational English
- Grammar
- Vocabulary
- Reading and Comprehension
- Listening and Comprehension
- Writing, Sentence Structure, and Composition

​Following this assessment, we will provide you with a recommendation as to the number of hours per week needed to adequately prepare you for your IELTS exam along with a customized program designed to help you address any areas that require improvement.

Our classes are engaging, interactive, and are conducted either:

- on a one-to-one basis via Zoom, or
- in-person

Sessions are customized to each student’s individual band expectations and pace of learning and start at a minimum of one hour.

OUR TEACHERS:

Unlike other academic establishments and institutions that claim to source native English speakers, we are the real deal. Our tutors are all NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS from the US or the UK. This is a mandatory prerequisite for any tutor joining our team and is a measure we strictly observe to ensure that our clients receive quality service that exceeds their expectations.

HOW MANY HOURS DO I NEED?

The minimum number of hours required to achieve a specific IELTS band is ultimately based on each individual's level of dedication and commitment to the program and varies depending on each student's learning pace and the amount of effort and practice they put forth both in class and between sessions.
