How did they score so well?

Now, you are probably wondering, ‘How did they manage such great scores?’ Well, some of them are our students, and here is what they attribute their success to:

Sara (Overall Band 8) said, “Writing was my biggest weakness. However, I am so fortunate that I found your website and I opted for your writing correction services. Additionally, I followed your advice and sample essays and scored a Band 7 in writing (my dream score in Writing).”

Gurnoor (Overall Band 7) said, Simone Braverman Mam, you’re more than just an IELTS teacher to me! Your guidance, encouragement, and unwavering belief in me have helped me unlock my potential. Your classes were never just about learning a language, but about building confidence, overcoming fears, and growing as a person. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have learned from you and will always cherish the memories and lessons from your classes.”

Imran Ali (Overall Band 7.5) said, “I firmly believe that for listening and reading modules attention is the key, whereas speaking and writing require channeling thoughts. Practice makes improvements especially when we have abundant of resources available on IELTS-Blog.com.”
