IELTS at a glance
Four parts, one band score from 0 to 9. Here's what each part really tests.
Listening
About 30 min · 40 questions
Four recordings: conversations and talks. The key skill is catching details while you read ahead.
Reading
60 min · 40 questions
Three long texts (Academic) or everyday and work texts (General Training). The key skills are speed and skimming.
Writing
60 min · 2 tasks
Task 1: describe a chart or process (Academic) or write a letter (General). Task 2: an essay, worth twice as much as Task 1.
Speaking
11–14 min · 3 parts
A conversation with an examiner: short questions, a 2-minute talk and a deeper discussion.
What band do you need?
Typical targets. Requirements differ by university, employer and visa type, so always check the official requirement.
| Band | What it means | Often asked for |
|---|---|---|
| 5.5–6.0 | Competent user with some mistakes | Foundation programmes and some bachelor's degrees |
| 6.5 | Good, mostly accurate English | Many bachelor's and master's programmes |
| 7.0 | Handles complex language well | Competitive universities and many professional registrations |
| 7.5+ | Very good to expert user | Top universities and some regulated professions |
Who it's for
IELTS preparation for your goal
Academic or General Training, first attempt or retake: we plan backwards from your exam date.

- Lesson 1
Diagnostic test, band estimate for each skill and a week-by-week plan.

Strategies for every section and the vocabulary for common Task 2 topics.
- Weeks 5–8
Weekly marked essays and speaking mocks with band estimates.

A final full mock, timing plan and a calm, confident test day.

What my students say
“I took private lessons with Georgia and I'm very happy. I recommend her to everyone, absolutely everyone. A very successful teacher in her field 👍”
“I've been taking lessons with Georgia for about a year, and my English has improved enormously. Thank you for all the care and attention you give to every lesson.”
The 5 IELTS mistakes I fix most often
- 1
Memorised phrases in Writing
Examiners recognise them and they don't raise your band. Clear, natural sentences do.
- 2
Not answering the whole Task 2 question
Task Response is a quarter of your writing score. We plan every essay around the question.
- 3
Very short answers in Speaking
Extend every answer with a reason or an example to show fluency and range.
- 4
Spending too long on one Reading question
You have about 90 seconds per question. We train a timing system you can trust.
- 5
Spelling mistakes in Listening
A correct answer spelled wrong is a wrong answer. We train accuracy with real recordings.
How IELTS preparation works
Diagnostic first
We measure each skill, so no time is wasted on what you can already do.
Marked writing
Every essay marked against the four official criteria, with corrections and a model answer.
Speaking mocks
Realistic speaking tests with timing, follow-up questions and a band estimate.
Band tracking
Regular mocks show your progress and tell us exactly what to practise next.
What happens in a 50-minute lesson
0′50′60′
Warm-up conversation 10 min
We talk about your week in the language you're learning, and I note your mistakes for later.
New structure, clearly explained 15 min

IELTS preparation: a short guide
Academic or General Training?
Choose IELTS Academic for university study and many professional registrations. Choose General Training for work, training and many migration routes. Listening and Speaking are the same in both; Reading and Writing are different. Always check which version your institution or visa route requires.

How long does it take to go up one band?
It depends on your starting point and how much you practise. Moving from 6.0 to 6.5 can take a few weeks of focused writing and speaking work; bigger jumps usually take a few months. Your diagnostic gives you a realistic plan, and a retake costs more than good preparation.
How is IELTS Writing marked?
Each task is marked on four criteria of equal weight: Task Achievement or Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. Task 2 counts twice as much as Task 1, so it's usually where the fastest gains are.
Frequently asked questions
Do you mark IELTS essays?
Yes. Every essay is marked against the four official criteria, with corrections, an estimated band and a model answer.
Can you explain IELTS strategies in Turkish or Arabic?
Yes. Explanations can be in Turkish, Arabic, Swedish or English, and we practise in English.
Do you guarantee a band score?
No honest teacher can guarantee a score, because exam day is yours. What I guarantee is a clear plan, real exam practice and detailed feedback that shows you how to improve.
How many lessons do I need?
It depends on your current level, your target band and your exam date. After the diagnostic in the trial lesson, I'll give you an honest estimate.
How much does IELTS preparation cost?
A single 50-minute exam lesson is ₺1,600 and the trial lesson is ₺400. In the 30-, 60- and 90-lesson programs each lesson costs less, and timed mock tests with band estimates are included.
