Why scores stall, and the weekly loop that fixes it

Most learners practise hard. What is missing is someone marking the work against the four criteria and showing what to fix next.

“I write essays, but nobody marks them against the four criteria.”

“I speak, but nobody tells me which mistakes cost marks.”

“I do tests, but the same question types go wrong every time.”

Writing Task 2 · body paragraph

Some people think governments should spend money on public transport rather than roads. Discuss.

Upgraded answer · changes marked

Firstly, investing in public transport help helps to reduce traffic in big cities. For example in For example, in London, the Underground carries millions of passengers, so it is very good which eases pressure on the roads. As a result, peoples commuters spend less time in traffic.

Practice plan: 7 days, one focus a day, starting with subject–verb agreement.

  • Task Response

    Strength: A clear main idea with a relevant example.

    Next step: Explain why the example supports your point.

  • Coherence and Cohesion

    Strength: “Firstly” and “As a result” guide the reader.

    Next step: Add a comma after “For example”.

  • Lexical Resource

    Strength: “investing in public transport” is precise.

    Next step: Replace “very good” with a specific effect.

  • Grammatical Range and Accuracy

    Strength: A cause and effect link across sentences.

    Next step: “investing … helps”: the verb agrees with the subject.

Our CELTA-qualified IELTS teacher

Who teaches, and how we mark

Every live class is taught by our CELTA-qualified teacher. CELTA is a teaching qualification from Cambridge English; it is not test-centre approval.

  • Writing and Speaking marked against the band descriptors published on ielts.org
  • Every comment quotes your own words
  • Not a British Council or IDP test centre: you book the official test with them

Questions

Can I do an IELTS course online?

Yes. Every class is live on Google Meet, and practice tests, homework and marked reports are on your dashboard. You need a laptop or phone, headphones and a quiet room.

Do you teach Academic or General Training?

Both. Universities in every country usually ask for Academic. Most migration routes, such as Canada Express Entry and Australian skilled visas, use General Training, and UK visas need a UKVI-approved test. We confirm yours on the free consultation.

Which time zone are the classes in?

Every time on the site is shown in your own time zone. Your exact group is confirmed on the free consultation.

When is the free consultation?

Every day at 08:40 UK time, for 20 minutes, with up to 5 learners. The booking page shows the time in your own zone. If it never suits you, tell us on the booking page and we arrange another time.

How is my Writing marked?

Against the four public criteria, with comments that quote your own words and an upgraded version of your answer. It is practice feedback, not an official IELTS score.

Are you a test centre?

No. We prepare you for the test. You book the official test with the British Council or IDP.

How do I pay?

Once, by card through Stripe, in GBP. The price shown is the total, with no extra fees and no subscription.
