About me
Band 7+ strategy, structured feedback and realistic mock speaking tests.
A former IELTS speaking examiner, I know exactly what the rubric rewards. In our lessons we practise the three parts of the speaking test, then break down your answers against the band descriptors. For writing, I mark one task per week and we rebuild the weakest paragraph together. Most of my students move up one full band within eight to ten weeks of consistent work.

Very structured feedback. James marked my writing every week and my IELTS speaking went from 6.5 to 7.5.
