Weaknesses, Fixed

Pick your tutor, choose a slot, and start as early as this week. Most students reach their target band within 4–8 weeks of focused 1:1 practice.

Zero Surprises

Your tutor knows the test inside out — the format, the timing, what examiners reward. By the time you sit it, you will too.

FAQ

How many IELTS classes do I need to improve my band score?

Most students see a meaningful improvement within 8–12 sessions, though this depends on your current level and target score. Students aiming for a 0.5-band jump typically need fewer sessions than those targeting Band 7.5 or above. During your first class, your tutor will assess your level and give you an honest timeline.

How are IELTS classes conducted?

Live 1:1 over video call — not a group webinar and not a recording. You book a slot that fits your timezone, including evenings and weekends, and meet your tutor from anywhere.

Who are the IELTS tutors?

Classes are taught by Maria and Rory — the hosts of the #1 IELTS podcast in the world. Both are experienced IELTS teachers who know exactly what examiners are looking for and how to close the gap between where you are and your target band.

What's the difference between the podcast and taking classes?

The podcast teaches you vocabulary, grammar, and exam strategies for free. Classes apply those strategies to your whole IELTS test — Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking: your errors, your weak parts, your timing. Think of the podcast as the textbook and the classes as the personal trainer.

Do you offer a trial or introductory class?

We don't offer a separate free trial. Your first booking is a full private lesson: your tutor assesses your level, targets your gaps, and maps a realistic plan to your test date before you book more sessions. If you want to check your speaking band first, try a free speaking mock test.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule a class?

You can reschedule with 24 hours' notice at no charge. We understand life gets busy — especially around exam prep.

How do I know when I'm ready to sit the IELTS exam?

Your tutor will tell you directly. After several sessions they'll give you an honest band estimate and recommend a test date. We'd rather you pass first time than rush in unprepared.
