Do you read the news? To improve my English, I developed a habit of starting my days with reading the news on my phone. The two news sources that I follow are http://www.abc.net.au/ and https://www.news.com.au/ . Would you like to go on the websites, read a article and summarise in a few sentences of what you read in the comment?

Happy studying :)

Have you heard of this website http://ielts-simon.com before? Simon is an ex-IELTS examiner and he posts daily lessons on his website.

I have many students emailing me from all corners of the world. I understand that IELTS studying materials could be expensive and not everyone could afford them. Yet I believe everyone deserves a chance to succeed. I will try to share as much free useful sources I find as possible.

Happy studying 🙂

Cambridge Dictionaries Online is a very good source to learn new vocabularies. If you haven't followed the page, I would recommend you to do so. They post several words each day with some simple and clear examples.

They are currently highlighting some useful and colourful football related terms during the world cup. This could be helpful if you're watching the game :).

Tips to buy a good dictionary: use an article which has a few words that you don't understand, bring it with you to a book store, check the definition of the words in the dictionary, if the description makes sense to you and helps you understand the text, it's a good dictionary for you:)

Happy studying and happy 2014 :)

To succeed in IELTS, you need to have a cunning plan and start working on it as early as you can. My advice is that you should focus on learning new vocabulary, grammatical rules, practicing writing in English and improving your pronunciation at least one year before you take the test.

Then you should concentrate on learning new IELTS techniques two months before the test. Current tutorial service is booked out until November 24, Please contact us today to book for your next tutorial. Good luck to all!

Happy studying :)

Congratulations to Kumar! My first student to achieve IELTS 8. Kumar came to Australia to work in 2011 and with his new IELTS score, he is now eligible to submit a expression of interest for Australian permanent residency. Well done Kumar! Best of luck to your future endeavours!

Nothing makes me happier then my students informing me that they have achieved the IELTS score they need so I can close their student files :)
