What Is IELTS?

IELTS is an English test accepted by universities, employers and immigration authorities in many countries, including the UK. There are two versions: Academic, for study, and General Training, for work and migration.

  • Listening and Reading — question sets on recordings and texts
  • Writing — two tasks, such as describing data and writing an essay
  • Speaking — a face-to-face interview with an examiner

Scores are given in bands from 0 to 9, for each skill and overall.

Writing and Speaking Feedback

Writing and Speaking are where many test-takers lose marks. Your tutor gives detailed feedback against the way IELTS assesses these skills.

  • Writing — task response, organisation, vocabulary and grammar
  • Speaking — fluency, pronunciation and answering with confidence
  • Mock tasks — timed practice with comments on each answer

How Our IELTS Prep Works

  1. Find your starting band with a practice test.
  2. Focus on the weakest skill first — the one with the most room to grow.
  3. Learn the task types — True/False/Not Given, matching headings, Task 1 data descriptions.
