Why did you write the course?
As an examiner, I know how important it is for students to understand the test in addition to having the skills to succeed. I know how key information can improve a student’s grade. I have spent months putting together the key details for you, saving you time and energy.

You can access the course any time you like for up to twelve months after joining.
How long is the course?
The course is made up of 4 modules of 5 lessons: 10 lessons on Question 1 and 10 on Question 2. Each lesson is designed to take an hour to complete. Some videos only last 20 minutes but the tasks will take 60 minutes or more to complete.

As part of the course fee, you can submit one Question 1 and one Question 2 for a fully marked essay and detailed feedback for improvement.
Can you guarantee my band score?
There are no guarantees. Your work ethic, the tasks in the test and your response on the day are all factors we cannot control. What we do promise is to support you with this course and our essay feedback to ensure you have the best chance of success. If you want more support, check out our essay marking service and 1-1 lesson opportunities.
Why is your course so short?
This course is for the IELTS Academic Writing Test. This is not a general English course but a strategic approach to Academic Writing.
How do I know this will work?
This course will work if you work.
It is generally accepted that it takes 6 months to improve your band score. If you have the time to put in 5 hours a week, you could finish this course in a month.
Buying a course does not guarantee success. You need to practise the skills in the lesson, learn the content and vocabulary in addition to completing tasks in timed conditions. If you implement the learning from the lessons and essay feedback, you will improve your marks.
If I am not satisfied, can I have a refund?
In UK law you are entitled to a refund within 14 days of payment, no questions asked.
