About
Hello learners! In this series, we will go over the tips and strategies that I found useful and which helped me secure an overall band of 8.5 in my IELTS test. We will then try to apply these strategies by doing practice questions.
There will be approximately 2 sessions every week. One will focus on strategies and their application, and the other will be targeted practice.
I will be adding sessions to this series based on what topics learners need more assistance in (for example, Writing).
Be prepared to have lots of fun experimenting with different strategies to see what works best for you. Hope to see you there!
