I provide IELTS Online Training for both General and Academic modules. So, you can choose to train yourself according to your requirements. It's easy to get an average 7 with 4 weeks of preparation provided my assumption is true. If you need a 7+ in writing, then it all comes down to your current quality of language. Without knowing your current quality it is difficult to predict the time frame. IELTS is not perfect, but it is certainly not unfair. In fact, it is probably the best measure of a person’s English skills. Do remember that 7 bands in every module is not a piece of cake, so start practicing from now on! -------- Academic IELTS vs General Training IELTS------------ **** Which one is easier: the IELTS General or the IELTS Academic? Both versions of the test have the same general format. Your English writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills will be tested separately no matter which version you take. In fact, there aren’t any differences between the listening and speaking sections at all. Both writing versions involve two writing tasks and both reading versions ask 40 questions in response to assigned readings. Differences begin to appear, however, in the nature of the content and task types. Ultimately these tests really are 70% similar, and you won’t have a choice as to which format you sit for. So it’s probably better to figure out how hard the IELTS will be for you. ***** What is essential to score a high band? Most of the students do well in their Listening, Reading and Speaking sessions but scoreless bands in the Writing section. This is due to a lack of sentence formation and also repeated use of the same words within an essay. I would like to add a point on grammar and vocabulary. Where do you begin? A focused IELTS study plan will show you which areas to study and practice every day, gradually preparing you for test day. ----- IELTS study plan (reading, listening, writing, speaking) ----- The IELTS Writing. Modules test your ability to produce two quite different pieces of writing in a fairly short period of time. Before applying to sit the test, you need to decide whether to take the Academic or the General Training module. Each module is divided into two parts and you have only one hour to complete both pieces of writing. ----- IELTS Reading. Reading Techniques & Strategies. ------ IELTS Listening: Essential Skills and Strategies. ------ IELTS Speaking: IELTS mind map to organize and brainstorm your answer for the speaking

My Business English classes will improve your confidence when speaking and communicating in English with other native and non-native English speakers in a business context. You will develop and refine your written communication skills as well as expand and enhance your vocabulary and fluency. The course focuses on real business situations and topics that professionals and managers encounter in their professional life when they need to communicate clearly and powerfully - when they need to concentrate on what they are saying, not on how to say it in English. The classes cover the following language communication skills, that are further defined after a Training Needs Analysis in consultation with you: Speaking with Clients and Colleagues - to develop clear and powerful communication skills and in particular how to alter the 'tone' and 'register' of what you say. Case Studies - use and application of specific realistic situations faced by professionals in your sector to extend vocabulary and practice all four English communication skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening). These skills are practiced and refined using authentic case studies in areas such as sales & marketing, HR, law, product management, insurance, strategy & management, banking & finance, or accounting. Function and Form - to add language flexibility and accuracy e.g. specific areas of vocabulary and synonyms, coaching in grammar and structure. Effective Telephoning, Meetings and Conference Calls - to increase spoken confidence and listening comprehension with native and non-native speakers of English. This part of the course also includes interpersonal skills training, e.g. Effective Presentations, Negotiation Skills, and Intercultural Awareness.

My complete modules of B1, B1+, B2, C1 lessons containing speaking, reading, listening, and writing tasks. Pre-Intermediate This is level A2 on the European scale. It is also called the Waystage level. At this level, you are reasonably confident in speaking English and have a vocabulary of at least 1,500 words. You have a basic knowledge of English grammar and can read simple texts and understand their general meaning. As far as writing ability, you can write both formal and informal letters correctly; emails; cards; write about yourself; describe events, places, and people; and express how you feel about people, things, and situations. Intermediate This level is equal to level B1 on the European scale. At this level, you have a good grasp of the knowledge you have accumulated at the previous levels, and you have added some new and sophisticated vocabulary. Your vocabulary is about 2,500 words, and you can adequately construct sentences in English in both spoken and written forms. When you speak, your grammar is correct. You can fill out forms, read fictional literature and various newspapers and magazines, and correspond in writing with native speakers without a lot of difficulties. At the Intermediate level, you have a good command of the language for traveling or working in an international company. Upper-Intermediate This is the next level after Intermediate and is the same as B2 on the European scale. If you can differentiate regional accents in English, speak in both formal and informal settings, identify your own mistakes in grammar and pronunciation, understand and use both simple and complex syntax, openly express your thoughts, and make few mistakes when speaking, then your level is Upper-Intermediate. At this level, your vocabulary is 3,000-4,000 words. You can speak and understand English without difficulty. Advanced/Proficiency At this level, you are almost as proficient in English as you are in your native language.

I offer an exciting range of General Russian classes for all levels, from beginner to proficiency. Our core class is an integrated skills class. It covers reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary. In this class, you'll improve your accuracy (how correct your Russian is) and fluency (how well you can communicate). Lessons have daily and weekly objectives so you know what you’ll learn and how you’ll learn it. I provide you with regular assessments that allow you to keep track of your progress. I use the Communicative Approach, so you'll learn Russian by using Russian—not by listening to grammar lectures and doing worksheets. I feel strongly that this is the most effective method to acquire Russian that students can use in the real world.
