"This course shows you how to write IELTS essays using a clear and simple approach. Plus, there are lots of examples to show you how to get a high band score. It's great!"

Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions?
❓What do I need to do to get Band 7-8 in IELTS Writing?
❓Why do I keep getting stuck at Band 6 or 6.5?
❓Why is there so much confusing advice online?
As an ex-IELTS Examiner and an IELTS Teacher, I see the same mistakes in students' essays. Candidates who SHOULD get Band 7 were doing things that limited their band score. Often this was because of advice they found online. This advice can be good if you only want Band 6, but Band 7 is different. You need to know exactly what IELTS Examiners are looking for at Band 7 and above. That's why I created this course.
My 3 Step IELTS Writing Method
Step 1
UNDERSTANDING
You need to understand exactly what the IELTS Examiner is looking for at Band 7 and higher.
Step 2
PLANNING
You need to be able to generate, organise and develop your ideas quickly and effectively
Step 3
WRITING
You need a method for turning your plan into writing that flows, using clear and precise language.
Most online advice just looks at Step 3. That's not enough for Band 7.
In this course, you will learn how to:
- Understand what IELTS Examiners are looking for at Band 7 and higher
- Give IELTS Examiners what they want for a Band 7 and higher
- Quickly generate ideas for your essay
- Effectively plan and organise your ideas using a 4 step planning process
- Write clear and concise introductions and conclusions
- Develop strong body paragraphs with supporting examples that illustrate your ideas
- Use words and phrases to link your ideas together
- Communicate your ideas using clear, precise vocabulary
- Use the four most useful grammatical structures
- Avoid the most common IELTS mistakes
- Understand the most common reasons why test takers get stuck at Band 6
- Check your essay for the most common language errors
- and much more...from an ex-IELTS Examiner

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does this course cover General Training and Academic IELTS?
Yes. Both tests are covered.
Does the course cover Writing Task 1?
No. Most students struggle most with Task 2, and Task 2 is worth two thirds of the total writing score, so this course only focuses on Task 2.
However, many of the ideas in the course can be applied to Writing Task 1.
What if I'm not happy with the course?
I offer a 30 Day 100% Money Back Guarantee, so if the course is not for you, just send me an email within 30 days of purchasing, and I will refund the purchase price.
