Individual preparation for IELTS online
Individual preparation for IELTS with a teacher is one of the most effective ways to prepare for the exam, in which the study plan is developed according to your wishes and requirements for the exam results.
A qualified and experienced teacher will prepare an optimal training programme for you depending on your level of knowledge and goals and will pay special attention to possible problem areas (including grammar or language barriers).
For example, you can focus on the writing part, which most students preparing for the exam have difficulty with.
Also, a great advantage of the individual format is the possibility to work according to a flexible schedule at a time convenient for you from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., even on weekends.
Individual IELTS course: how many lessons do I need?
The duration of the individual IELTS preparation course depends on the level of English proficiency before the start of the study, as well as on the desirable scores and preparation time. We test students in order to offer the IELTS course that is optimal for you.
On average, 15-20 classes of 1.5 hours are required to become familiar with all parts of the exam and practice. An express course of 10 lessons is also possible.
Individual preparation for IELTS online involves:
- Acquaintance with techniques for dealing with all modules (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking), assessment criteria.
- Maximum amount of practice and recommendations for each of the 4 modules, studying the specifics of task performance and requirements.
- Practice tests within the real exam time limits.
- Significant expansion of vocabulary aimed at the competent and free expression of thoughts during oral and written modules.
- Special attention is paid to the Writing module (General Training or Academic): description of graphs, tables, diagrams; types of letters; essay structure and essay types.

If you would like to work on improving your score in a particular module and only purchase a few classes, we would be happy to help.

An important rule of attending IELTS preparation classes
- If it is necessary to cancel or postpone the class to another date, the student must notify the manager or the teacher 3 hours before the start of the class. If the class is in the morning, then notify us in the evening.
- If the student informs us later than 3 hours in advance, then ½ class is counted.
- If the student does not show up for the class or notifies us after the class has started, the class is considered completed and the payment for it is withdrawn in full.
