I will tell you what examiners are looking for specifically in your answer. - you will learn the most useful IELTS related vocabulary depending on the score you are aiming for. - we will spend a lot of time polishing your grammar. I will share my unique approach to understanding and applying grammar rules. - we will work on your pronunciation. I will tell you exactly why the mistakes occur and what needs to be done (how you need to place your tongue and lips) to correct it. - you will practise speaking 80% of the class. - we will do a lot of mock tests to make you feel confident and relaxed on the day of the exam. By the end of a 20-hour writing course: - you will learn how to logically structure your writing for task 1 and 2 - you will be aware of specific vocabulary and grammar which examiners expect you to use in different types of writing. - you will practice writing all possible kinds of tasks - I will provide you with very detailed comments on every written assignment - we will use the most recently published materials
