In this episode, we speak to IELTS success student Marlene. Marlene is a German social worker now relocating to Australia with her partner. 

She tried studying on her own with practice tests but it was difficult without feedback from a tutor. 

She passed all the other parts but was stuck at 6 and 6.5 in writing after five tries.

We discuss:

  • How having a one on one IELTS tutor improved her essays
  • How she successfully managed work and study
  • A proven way to help generate ideas when your mind goes blank
  • An underrated way to save time in the IELTS writing exam 
  • How to expand your vocabulary across different IELTS topics.

Join many other students who have achieved IELTS success with our online course.
