After spending many years teaching IELTS to students, we have found that this information is the most valuable to our students and have therefore decided to create a quick summarized 2 hour course that contains all the information you need to improve your IELTS Essay Writing. We often find that students really struggle to start their essay or find the words to make their arguments strong or meaningful. That is why we have created a 17 sentence method, which gives each sentence a purpose. Once you have learnt the purpose for each sentence and practiced writing similar essays, you will find that each time you write an essay you will know exactly what to write because the 'type' of sentence has already been decided for you, all you need to do is write the content. This method is also used in Academic Writing and Journal Article Writing and we have broken it down and simplified it to help improve the way students take on the IELTS Writing Task 2 - which is essentially an Academic piece of writing. We have had many students who have been grateful to have this method with them as they go into the IELTS Exam as it helps them calm down and know exactly what to write. If you want to be calm, stress free and confident on your exam day - join us on this course.
