Mastering IELTS Speaking: The Model Answers Edition (Udemy.com)
Model answers to a variety of topics for Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the IELTS Speaking exam.
Created by: The IELTS Teacher
Last updated May 2026
Our take
Based on the ratings of 232 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in May 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is the model answers companion to the teacher's Express Course, which covers strategy. Here that strategy gets applied. The IELTS Teacher records high-scoring answers to over 100 Speaking questions, then follows each with a focus lecture on vocabulary, grammar and delivery. Parts 1, 2 and 3 get a section apiece, and the whole thing runs 12.9 hours across 102 lectures. It assumes you already know the exam format and have roughly B1 English or better.
Reviewers like the breakdown lectures and the prompt to answer each question yourself before listening. Several say the example answers helped them rethink their own answers and pick up useful words and phrases. Two report a 7.5 overall band, though one scored 6.5 in Speaking itself and the other also took the writing courses. Ratings are strong: 174 of 232 are five stars and none fall below three. Criticism is mild: one reviewer wanted downloadable PDFs.
It was last updated in May 2026, so it is not stale. It is a practice bank, not a teaching course, so anyone new to the exam should start with the Express Course first. For test takers aiming at band 7 or above who want many spoken examples to study and adapt, it is an easy recommendation. Nobody should expect mock tests, since the course has none, and it covers Speaking only.
Pros
- Over 100 spoken answers across all three Speaking parts, each with its own analysis lecture
- Reviewers say the model answers help them rethink their own answers and pick up usable words and phrases
- Encourages answering each question first, then again after the breakdown, so learners produce language too
- Last refreshed in May 2026, with 174 of 232 ratings at five stars
Cons
- No downloadable resources such as PDFs, as one reviewer pointed out
- Does not explain the exam format and works best alongside the separate Express Course
- Speaking only, with no full mock tests or Writing, Listening or Reading help
I love the breakdown of the model answers and how the teacher gives the audience the chance to produce their own language.
Listed for all levels, but the teacher recommends B1 English or higher and prior knowledge of the exam format.

Course Description
A NEW IELTS MODEL ANSWERS COURSE FROM THE IELTS TEACHER
Are you struggling to achieve your desired score in the IELTS Speaking test?
Do you sometimes find it difficult to come up with ideas and speak with confidence?
Would you like to improve how natural your speech sounds by improving your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation?
If so, this course is for you.
This course is designed to accompany and complement my original IELTS Speaking course, Mastering IELTS Speaking: The Express Course. Whereas the original course focused on how to approach the IELTS Speaking test, this course uses the strategies taught in the original course and applies them to answer a huge selection of IELTS Speaking questions.
In this course, you'll hear high-scoring answers to over 100 IELTS Speaking questions and then you'll watch in-depth analysis lectures for each and every one of them.
Over the duration of the course, your vocabulary will expand as you learn a wealth of new words and expressions for many different topics, and your grammatical capabilities will improve as you see how high-level grammar is used in practice.
Your fluency and coherence will also reach new heights as you discover new ideas and new techniques for answering the examiner's questions. Your pronunciation will likewise improve as you have the chance to listen closely to a native-speaker's delivery, including syllable stress and intonation, and learn about some of the most common pronunciation errors.
You'll also have the chance to test how much you've learnt by taking quizzes at the end of each of the sections.
Each of the three sections in the course corresponds to the individual parts of the Speaking test: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. In each of the sections, you'll have the chance to watch me delivering high-scoring answers to each of the examiner's questions before we explore each of these answers in-depth in a focus lecture.
I encourage you to take part in this course with me by also answering these questions yourself, both before seeing my own and then once again after watching the focus lectures. If you record your attempts, you should notice an immediate improvement in your speaking .
This course is appropriate for anybody aiming to achieve a band 7, band 8 or band 9 in the IELTS Speaking test, but, although challenging, it will also be appropriate for anybody aiming to achieve a band 6 or 6.5. I'd recommend having a minimum English level of B1 before signing up.
I hope you enjoy the course!

This course is full of practical exercises with in-depth analysis. All examples allow me to observe how native English speakers discuss these themes, which will prepare me for giving a speech.

I have completed more than half of the course and I recently received my IELTS Academic result. L: 8, R: 8.5, W: 6.5, S: 6.5. Overall score is 7.5. It was a sufficient result for me. I was able to use some words and phrases I learned from the course in my speaking exam. Thank you very much!
