IELTS

If you are just beginning to study for the IELTS…

For students who are starting their IELTS studies, our preparation courses operate on a ongoing basis from September to June and most lessons take place in the afternoons. Students can study part-time or full-time, by combining General English in the morning with examination preparation.

The IELTS courses are taught by Senior Tutors with experience of tutoring students for these examinations. The curriculum is based on the requirements of the exam and the class materials and course books offer students the chance to practice the skills that are required to successfully complete the various papers of the exams. This is essential examination training.

To ensure that students are properly prepared for the exam, the course offers guidance on exam techniques and language support and introduces students to particular grammar and vocabulary that is relevant to the specific exams.

Students are offered the possibility to take regular practice tests, which are monitored by the Academic Manager and which also provide a basis for feedback and areas of improvement as the exam date approaches. In addition to a course book students must also buy a workbook to study at home and gain extra practice.

Experienced IELTS test takers and native speakers…

If you have taken the examination already but need to improve specific scores in certain areas, for example writing, or if you are a native speaker who has some difficulty achieving high scores in one area of the exam we will offer you private tuition.

In our experience of teaching this exam, we have discovered that many IELTS candidates, especially those aiming for very high scores, will have very individual areas of weakness that need to be identified by a Senior Teacher, corrected and then practiced until the desired score is reached.

This is best done on a one to one basis. We will also give you ongoing support and encouragement to persist with this difficult examination until you reach your goal.

Test your level

When you take an IELTS examination you are not given any feedback on your scores. This can be frustrating. If you are looking to have a diagnostic assessment of your current score or readiness to take the examination, we can provide you with a full mock test and feedback. This will give you the opportunity to assess your own level without registering to take a full examination.

Please contact us to book an assessment test or to begin to improve your IELTS score immediately. We can give you complete information on current course availability. We also teach IELTS online, so no matter where you are in the world, you can benefit from the knowledge of our tutors.
