IELTS FAQ

What is the difference between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training?

IELTS Academic is designed for university admission and professional registration, while IELTS General Training is typically used for immigration and employment purposes. The Listening and Speaking tests are the same for both; the Reading and Writing tests differ. If you are unsure which version you need, we will confirm it during your free assessment.

Yes. Our tutors prepare students for both test types, and your study plan, materials and practice tasks are matched to the version you will take.

It depends on your starting level and target score. As a general guide, students working consistently often improve by 0.5 to 1.0 band over 8–12 weeks of focused preparation. [OWNER VERIFICATION REQUIRED — confirm typical band-improvement timeline before publishing.] Your diagnostic assessment gives us a realistic estimate for your situation before you enrol.

Every package is built around one-on-one sessions, so speaking practice with your tutor is part of every week. You will rehearse all three parts of the Speaking test under realistic conditions and receive immediate feedback on fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

Yes. Writing feedback is central to the program. You submit practice Task 1 and Task 2 responses regularly, and your tutor returns detailed, criterion-based feedback showing how each response measures against the official band descriptors — and exactly what to change to reach your target band.

Yes. Every package includes full mock examinations under timed conditions, followed by a detailed review with your tutor: 2 mocks in Starter, 4 in Professional and 6 in Intensive.

Yes — conditionally. If you enrol in the Professional or Intensive package and complete all package requirements, and your score does not improve by at least 0.5 band, we provide additional lessons at no charge. Full conditions are set out in our Terms of Service. No program can guarantee a specific band score on test day, and you should be cautious of any provider that claims otherwise.

Yes. One-on-one online lessons offer scheduling flexibility across time zones, and our tutors use an interactive whiteboard, shared documents and session recordings so you can review every lesson. Mock exams are administered under timed conditions that mirror the real test.
