Course promise
The goal of this programme is not to “cover IELTS topics.” It is to move a learner from a familiar Band 6 plateau toward a Band 7-level performance through tightly planned teaching, correction, and measured progress.
Course Fit
Who this intensive is built for
Best for learners already around Band 6
This programme is built for students who understand the IELTS format but are still missing the score jump from Band 6 to Band 7.
Useful when the exam date is already close
The structure is intensive on purpose. It is designed for students who need a fast, disciplined four-week push rather than a long open-ended course.
Strong fit for students who need feedback, not just content
The course includes marked writing, speaking correction, mock tests, and skill-by-skill diagnosis so students know exactly what is limiting their score.
This programme is deliberately honest about fit. If someone is still far below Band 6, a longer foundation course is usually the better option. If someone is already close and the exam window is short, this course gives them a more focused path.
What Is Included
A four-week programme with daily structure and real feedback
Full diagnostic at the start
Every learner begins with an all-skills diagnostic and a Band 7 gap analysis so the course starts with evidence, not guesswork.
Daily live teaching
Five live classes a week keep momentum high and reduce the long gaps that often slow down score improvement.
Marked writing and speaking feedback
Students do not just practise. They receive feedback on Task 1, Task 2, and speaking performance against band criteria.
Mock tests and projected band tracking
The final week is built around full mock testing, score conversion, targeted drilling, and final action plans before the real exam.

More natural Speaking fluency, fuller Part 2 answers, and stronger Part 3 discussion depth.
A final exam-readiness plan based on mock performance rather than optimism.
Course Questions
Frequently asked questions
Who is this course really for?
It is best for students already around Band 6 who want a realistic push toward Band 7 in a short time. It is not designed as a beginner course from zero.
How intensive is the schedule?
The structure is five live classes a week for four weeks, with a total of 20 sessions. Most sessions are 75 minutes, with longer sessions used for diagnostic work, writing feedback, and mock testing.
Does the course cover all four IELTS skills?
Yes. Week 1 focuses on Listening and Reading, Week 2 on Writing, Week 3 on Speaking and skill integration, and Week 4 on mock tests, review, and exam readiness.
What kind of feedback do students receive?
Students receive writing feedback, speaking feedback, mock-test review, raw-score tracking, and final action points. The course is designed around correction and improvement, not just lesson delivery.
Can this work for both Academic and General Training students?
The current intensive template is built around an Academic Band 7 target. If a student needs a General Training route instead, the same intensive structure can be adapted after the initial consultation.
