By Hasan Özkan on 5/9/2024
It was a detailed study, and I appreciate your effort. So why did I give it a kind of three stars? Because you used too many unnecessary fancy words. That makes our job very difficult in here. You may argue that this is necessary, but I disagree. This may be beneficial for those who need an 8 or higher on IELTS speaking, but no one needs an 8 or above. Even for me as a medical doctor, it is enough to get an average of 7.5 on IELTS (it means, 7 on speaking is enough). You do not really need those fancy words to get 7. Let's take my wife as an example. She does not know many of the fancy words you use in the course. She uses the plain English version of words but her speech is fluent, her pronunciation is good and she does not make any major grammatical mistakes. That's all ! I could also tell that you are talking too fast throughout the course, but I won't go into that.

We can understand how to answer a question correctly addressing both positive and negative side, mixing with good vocabulary and collocation. Also he shows the manner of speaking with intonation and word stress.
By Rohan jang on 4/5/2024
I feel confident that I will achieve a Band 7 in the IELTS speaking test. After just one month of preparation, I feel well-prepared. Let's wait and see how it goes. I appreciate your course, and I have even signed up for your other courses. They are definitely worth it. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Most of the videos are cut into short 3 minutes videos. At first, I thought that I might find it hard to catch on, but I can say the short videos are on point and very helpful and easy to follow and take note.
By Nicole Smuts on 6/26/2023
I don't really like using y'know because it feels like a question that I am asking the examiner. When practicing I remember that the examiner doesn't know and I try explain it without y'know.
By Mahmoud Hassan on 5/27/2022
