Do you struggle to think of ideas when you sit down to write your IELTS Writing Task 2 essay?
When ideas do finally appear, is it a challenge for you to develop these ideas coherently and cohesively?
Do you sometimes fail to address all elements of the task, only noticing your error once you've finished?
Are you someone who is comfortable with English in general, but can't 'find the right words' when it comes to writing an essay?
If so, then this IELTS preparation course might be for you.
'Mastering IELTS Writing: Task 2 (Band 9 Model Answers)' takes all the advice and guidance offered in 'Mastering IELTS Writing: Task 2' (6,000+ 5-star reviews) and applies it to twelve separate essays.
In this course, there are two complete walkthroughs for essays according to each of the four question types, along with two walkthroughs for essays which do not neatly fall into these question type categories and two essays completed during my monthly live classes. All together, this makes a total of twelve complete walkthroughs of Band 9 essays.
Each of the essays focuses on a different topic (including technology, work, culture and education among many others), helping you to generate ideas about a variety of fields and boost your range of topic-related vocabulary. The course applies to both the IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training modules
Over the course of around 40 minutes, I will take you through the process of how to approach the question, plan your essay, write your introduction, develop your ideas in your body paragraphs, and close with a strong conclusion, all with a range of complex grammar and sophisticated vocabulary. And with 12 model answers to go through, this gives you almost 14 hours of video content!
There are also exercises to complete after the end of every walkthrough that will give you the chance to consolidate the new topic-related collocations, academic vocabulary and cohesive language you have learnt.
This course works best as an 'accompaniment' to your main writing studies. In other words, to make the most out of this Model Answers course, it is strongly recommended for you to go through the original 'Mastering IELTS Writing: Task 2' course before beginning as all of the essays here rely on the strategies, techniques and guidance taught in that course.
However, you can still benefit a lot from these model answers if you take the two courses at the same time.
This course is not appropriate for students preparing for IELTS Speaking, IELTS Reading, IELTS Listening or IELTS Writing Task 1, or for students of the TOEFL exam. Remember, it is appropriate for both IELTS Academic and IELTS GT students.
This has been one of the most requested video courses from my 60,000+ Udemy students, and I'm really excited to be sharing it with you now. So let's get started!

Matt is the best writing teacher ever. Before getting to his lectures, I had always been stuck at 6.5 in IELTS writing test. But after studying his courses, I got 7.5 and then 8 in writing. I have been using his approach which is absolutely practical and helpful, in writing essays and reports in my graduate study. The Mastering task and the Model answers courses are a perfect combo, you should buy them both for each task. I couldn't thank him enough.
By Meghana Goud on 4/2/2023
This course helped me score 7 in writing. I was stuck at 6.5 for the last 3 times I gave the test. This course gives a detailed idea on how to approach different types of essay questions, which is very easy to follow and implement on the exam day. Also, Q and A section allows you to ask questions which are answered within a day or two. I am really grateful that i chose this course.
By Ali Alsalem on 1/26/2022
I have to admit that your course is the most comprehensive in Task 2 preparation. I have never met such a dedicated teacher that deeply cares about his students! My nature implies a tendency towards curiosity and asking so many questions to make sure I well understood the subject, and guess what? Matt was a teacher who met my needs! I cannot stress enough how awesome this man is. In Saudi Arabia we call such a man with high work ethic "رجّال كفو", and surely Matt qualifies this honor. This course provides an extensive framework of all you need to achieve even band 9, and soon I hope I achieve this score and will update you. Thank you Matt.

I have been getting 6.5 repeatedly in the IELTS writing exam, but after buying this course, I was able to achieve band 7.5 in writing. I bought two courses together, one of which was 'Achieve Band 7+ in 6 hours' and other one is this ' Band 9 model answers'. The former teaches the basic rules of writing an essay and throws light on some common grammar mistakes people do, and the later dictates how to brainstorm, plan, and write an effective essay. Both these courses helped me in achieving band 7.5.
By Dalia Abukhatero on 7/4/2020
it is good however, it is a bit complicated for non native speakers and learners of language. it is not easy to write like this in a test and although I studying this it doesn't mean I will be able to write something similar in the exam.
By Intouch on 10/3/2019
Thanks a lot, I have reviewed your course more than 3 times already. First, I can’t get it through some paths of the course but then more I watch more it makes sense. Thanks for these I understand more in task achievement. I wish, I would get a score more than 7 for my next test. Besides,if that’s possible for you to create a model answer in task one either. I think it would be beneficial for all students like us who are struggling.
By Shah Syed Sulaiman on 7/22/2019
Loving the course as I'm trying to learn so many new aspects and key points here. Given my Ielts exam 5 times and now I can clearly see what I was doing wrong. Matt is a great guy who co-relates his topics with band descriptors which is the key here in getting band 7. I've shared this training module in my class and to all my friends who are going to appear for the exam and they all loving it. Thanks matt ! you don't know how indebted we are to you. Love from India! God bless you!

Thanks Matt, when i started this course i started gaining confidence in writing. I used to get good scores in all sections in IELTS expect Writing . i was at 6.5 level all the time and upon completion of this course i realized my mistakes and started practicing with the techniques discussed in the course. And i got my IELTS score today . They are : Listening : 8.5 Reading : 8 speaking : 8 Writing : 7.5 Thanks Matt, this course is amazing . it was a long jump to me from 6.5 to 7.5 .

I have watched several tutoring videos on Ielts writing task 2, and it seems that the categorization of essays varies among mentors, which took me a while to adapt myself to. The lessons are well-structured respectively, but I do feel that a brief introductory session, if included in the very beginning, would provide the viewers with a head start. That's why I consider adding a briefing about the reasoning behind the classification a viable modification. Anyway, what makes a difference here is that the model essays are presented methodically and crystal clear with the help of the interface and kit, although I haven't completed all the sessions yet, so far I have seen quite a few worthy tips and thought-provoking suggestions. Thanks for the well-made lessons, and keep up the good work.

Hi Matt, Course is absolutely engaging and incredibly structured. I was able to follow through the meticulous explanation and reasoning while doing the exercise, which has tremendously helped me during IELTS writing exam. I have done the course twice and have given test on May 11th 2018. I scored 8.5 in writing using the strategies and planning taught by you, especially initial planning has made me focus on the topic. Thank you very much for an incredible course. Thank you Sheena
