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!

Excellent IELTS Writing Lessons

Tom is an excellent teacher. His explanations are very clear and well-structured. He provided constructive feedback for my essays. I could score overall band 8 and improved my writing score from 6.5 to 7 after the 10-hour course. Highly recommended!

Helped me reach my goal in a short time

I greatly recommend online lessons with Ielts tutors, especially Chis.

I was stuck at band 6.5 in writing (two times) and needed to get band 7.0 in one week.

Chris helped me understand what was my problem and went through important things with me related to writing task 1 and writing task 2. Writing can be especially hard to navigate as it is considered to be one of the hardest IELTS categories.

With great help though, nothing is impossible.

Absolutely amazing

Before taking classes here, I took the IELTS GT 3 times and every time I got 6.5 in writing. However, after taking few hours with Chris Cox, he was able to identify the problems I had with my writing and easily after I was able to get a 7.5 in writing.

Thanks!

Very helpful lessons!

I started 1 to 1 classes in order to improve my band score for Writing from 7.0 to 7.5. After 6 lessons with Tom spread over 4 weeks, in which we practiced answering different types of essay questions and letters, I scored 8.0 for Writing. Tom was a great teacher, very friendly, professional, positive and helpful. His feedback on my homework essays was specific and positive, and he always provided me with the necessary information and examples to improve a certain grammatical difficulty. My most important lesson was that it is important to envision a clear structure for the task and fully develop ideas and support them with arguments. I definitely felt a lot of improvement over the course of 4 weeks. For me, these lessons were exactly what I needed in order to reach my goal. Thank you Tom!

IELTS Speaking

Paul is the best tutor I could have had. He gave me feedback after every part of the speaking test and suggested new ideas on how to improve. We set goals and achieved them. I even got an 8.5 in Speaking compared to the 8.0 that I needed. I highly recommend Paul to every IELTS student. I can’t thank him enough

Glad that I gave it a chance!!!

I struggled with my writings for months and thankfully I found this platform.

Thanks to Tom, my writing skills have improved greatly by pointing out the main issues and showing me how to upgraded them. So, He outlined a personalised plan in order to maximise my achievements. Meanwhile, He also helped me to refine my speaking skills and communicate my ideas clearly to the listener.

My band score was:

Listening 9

Reading 7.5

Writing 6.5

Speaking 7

Overall 7.5

I Improved my IELTS with with Tom

I am so happy to my IElTS prep done here with Tom. He helped me alot in my study plan and I improved in all my sections. I wrote my IELTS twice and I couldn’t improve in listening and reading. Tom organised alot of mock exams for me which helped my reading and listening jump by 1.5.In addition, Tom was so kind enough to help review my scholarship essays together with his wife. I am happy to tell that I have been awarded a chevening scholarship. Tom’s wife helped to review my essays and she sent interview tips. I will study Public Health at the University of Leeds.
