This is it — last call for the June 17 class, starting tomorrow.

My Band 7+ Speaking Intensive starts tomorrow, and I have a few places still open.

If you’ve been following my content and wondering whether this course is for you — this is the moment to decide.

Here’s what makes it different:

Most IELTS courses treat speaking as a list of skills to practise separately. This one doesn’t. Every lesson takes a topic and develops it fully — the vocabulary, the grammar, the ideas, and the speaking together. You don’t memorise phrases. You learn to think and express yourself like someone who genuinely has something to say.

The IELTS Speaking Band 7+ Course begins June 17, starting soon!

This course is designed mainly for Band 6+ students who want to move towards Band 7 and above.

It is also suitable for stronger students, including those already around Band 7 or 7.5, who want to polish their fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, confidence and idea development before the test.

I have been teaching IELTS for 20 years. I have seen students get stuck, lose confidence, repeat the same habits, and then suddenly improve when they understand what needs to change.

I built this course, including the materials and syllabus, from scratch for serious students who already have a foundation but want to speak with more control, flexibility and precision.

This is not a large online course with hundreds of students and no feedback. This is a small group of up to 10 people. I will know your level. I will know your weaknesses. I will help you understand exactly what you need to do differently.

One thing I’d like to clarify about my IELTS Speaking Band 7+ course, which starts on June 17.

Although many students join because they are aiming for Band 7.0, the course is also highly suitable for stronger students aiming for 7.5, 8.0 or beyond.

A major focus of the course is helping students make connections between IELTS topics rather than treating each topic as a separate area to study. This helps students develop ideas more naturally, use language more flexibly, and respond with greater confidence when faced with unfamiliar questions.

Students also receive detailed personalised feedback throughout the course, allowing them to identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement.

The goal isn’t simply to learn more vocabulary. It’s to become a more flexible, confident communicator across a wide range of topics while improving both Speaking and Writing.

If that sounds like something that would help you, feel free to send me a message.

🎯 Want to push your IELTS Speaking score higher — and finally know exactly what’s holding you back?

Whether you’re at Band 6 and ready to break through, or already at 7 and aiming for 7.5+, one thing makes the difference: knowing precisely what examiners want — and being able to deliver it consistently.

That’s exactly what this course is built around.

📅 Band 7+ IELTS Speaking Course — starting June 17

This isn’t a general English class. Every lesson is designed around the real criteria examiners use — and how to meet them at the highest level.

Over 7 weeks, you’ll work on:

✅ Developing answers naturally and in depth — no more trailing off or losing your thread
✅ Real fluency and flexibility in Parts 2 and 3
✅ Higher-level vocabulary and collocations you can actually use under pressure
✅ Advanced grammar that sounds natural — not rehearsed
✅ Sounding precise, organised and confident when it counts most

Classes are kept small on purpose. Every student gets consistent speaking practice, detailed correction, and personalised feedback throughout the course — not just theory.

Whether you need to make that first breakthrough or fine-tune what’s already working, you’ll leave each class knowing exactly what to improve and how.

📌 7 weeks | 35 hours total | Twice a week on Zoom
💰 10,000,000 VND for the full course

The course starts June 17 — spots are limited, so don’t leave it too late.

A common mistake in IELTS Speaking preparation is treating every topic as a separate problem.

Students prepare language for education.

Then different language for technology.

Then different language for cities, people, work, culture, travel and so on.

But in the real exam, topics overlap constantly.

If you prepare a strong answer about a teacher, you are not only preparing “a person” topic. You may also be building language for education, childhood, communication, success, confidence and personal influence.

If you prepare a strong answer about a city, you may also be preparing language for transport, lifestyle, tourism, the environment, work and future development.

This is why memorising hundreds of separate answers is usually a weak strategy.

A better approach is to build flexible vocabulary, grammar and ideas that can move across topics.

That is when IELTS Speaking preparation becomes much more efficient.

Do you usually study topics separately, or do you try to connect them?

Do you think IELTS preparation should only focus on helping students pass the exam, or should it also help people become more confident communicators and thinkers in real life?

Personally, I think learning how to express ideas clearly, discuss complex topics, manage pressure and communicate naturally may remain valuable long after the IELTS exam itself is finished.

What do you think?
