Great experience!

I enrolled in the 1:1 writing course with Tom, and it was truly a great learning experience. I was able to understand the structure of IELTS writing tasks and how to approach essay topics with confidence. He also provided helpful resources for further learning, which made a big difference. With his support, I was able to achieve my target score.

The best site for IELTS tutoring and self-studying

I got an 8 overall (R: 9, R: 8.5, W: 7.5, S: 7.5). I took several 1.1 sessions with Tom, and it’s totally worth it! I was stuck at 6.5 for speaking, and Tom helped me achieve a 7.5. He was really supportive in explaining what an examiner looks for in your speaking. He also demystified a bunch of IELTS theories that helped me approach IELTS in the right direction. Studying with him was easy, exciting, and comfortable as he is experienced in tailoring the lessons to your needs and extending your knowledge. Once again, thank you Tom and the whole team IELTS Tutors!

Thank you Tom!

I am extremely grateful for the IELTS preparation course with Tom. I have always struggled with the writing part, especially the time management and structure. I never knew where to start when faced with a difficult topic, which often held me back. However, Tom provided excellent materials and helped me understand how to structure both Task 1 and Task 2 correctly.

The course was very helpful and I was able to achieve my desired IELTS score!

Thank you so much Tom for your amazing help!

I got 8.5! Thank you Tom!

I got 8.5 overall in IELTS (L: 9.0, R: 9.0, W: 7.5, S: 8.5). I had Speaking and Writing lessons with Tom Speed. Tom has taught me a lot of new techniques I had not known before. His lessons are always well-structured and on point. Thank you so much!

Great tutor Tom

I had 10 lessons with Tom and he was extremely helpful. He helped me to understand what to write about each type of writing questions and his feedback on my essays was priceless. I wish I had these lessons earlier to get my desired mark sooner

I achieved the result thanks to Tom's clear explanations and reduced stress during the learning process!

I highly recommend Tom as an excellent teacher. His meticulous approach to explaining material through simple examples helps in remembering new nuances!

In just a month, despite my hesitations in speech when nervous, I was able to improve my scores from a previous 5.5 and 5 to a 6.0 in writing and speaking. As a result, I achieved an overall score of 6.5, which is suitable for applying to a master’s program.

I am very grateful to Tom for his personalised approach to each student!

Tom is the best ever !!!

After struggling for a long time with a score of 5 and 5.5 on my IELTS test, I took lessons with Tom and it was the best thing that could have happened to me. He knew how to recognize my mistakes and help me improve to reach my goals. Thank you to his lessons, exercises and support, I achieved my IELTS score of 6.5 and I am very grateful with Tom !!

Success at third attempt

I took my first IELTS test in 2021, but it expired this year. I had been trying since February to pass the exam, but I couldn’t reach band 7 in the writing section. I took it twice before getting in touch with Tom, and he helped me to recognize my mistakes and practice using all the given materials. I got 7.5 in my 3rd attempt in writing and an overall score of 8.0, which is the highest I have ever scored. I thank God because he is the one who gives us victory in our battles and the opportunity to train with the best team. THANK YOU!

Pd. Tom is a good teacher. He makes difficult concepts seem easy and acquirable. God bless you.

Band 7.0! Enjoy your studying with Tom!

My experience of the preparation for Academic IELTS exam with Tom Speed was great!

Before attending the classes, it was extremely hard for me to write any texts in English, especially in academic style. In addition, I was completely afraid to speak with English natives. The lessons with Tom, always structured and informative, have helped me to improve my writing and speaking skills, and I have gotten overall band 7.0 in the real Academic IELTS test!

P.S. It was extremely interesting for me to learn new things about the English language and English culture in general.

Tom, thank you very much for this knowledge!
