FAQs

  • Is this course suitable for IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training?

    Both. IELTS Writing Task 2 is exactly the same for both Academic and General training.

  • How long does it take to complete the course?

    The lectures take only 2 hours to complete. The total duration of watching the lectures completing the assignments and answering the Task 2 questions varies from person to person. To get the maximum benefit from this course, I recommend answering all the essay questions, revisiting the material and visiting the extra resources.

  • How long will I have access to the course?

    You have access to the videos and quizzes for a year but we can extend this for as long as you need it.This means you can study in your own time and listen to the videos over & over again until you feel confident enough to take the test.

  • Can you guarantee a 7 or higher IELTS band score?

    The course will help you get a higher band score if you work hard to master the techniques taught. However, there is no guarantee of how high your score will be. This is because your IELTS band score depends on your English level as well as how thorough your test preparation is. If you have a low level of English, then taking this course alone will not be sufficient to achieve a high band score. In that case, I recommend taking an extended English course to improve your English level alongside your IELTS preparation.

  • Do I need to be familiar with the IELTS test?

    No, you don't need to be familiar with the format of the IELTS test. This is something that is explained in the course. By the end of the course, you'll learn what to expect in the test.

  • Will I improve my English skills with this course?

    This is a strategy and techniques course to help you pass the IELTS test successfully. There is advice on grammar, vocabulary and overall English language skills, but the focus in not on general English language learning.

  • Will you correct my essays?

    To maintain an affordable price, the course does not include a writing correction service. However, in the course book, you will find model answers to which you can compare your essays.

    If you still want to get your essays corrected, you can get one of our packages from our website.

Please note that this course is part of the IELTS Academic Full Package Course. If you want to get prepared for all the IELTS modules, then the IELTS Academic Full Package Course is the right for you. A 400-page course book accompanies the full package course.

Dina Panayi

Hi, I'm Dina, the founder of IELTS Elephant. Over the last 20 years, I have helped thousands of students succeed in their IELTS goals so they could study or work overseas. Now, I am sharing my tried and tested methods with all of you, through my online courses.

My background: I was raised in New Zealand and graduated from Massey University with a degree in English. I left to take up residence in Cyprus where I taught in various schools and private institutes before establishing my own English Learning institute. Since 2002, I have been specialising mainly in IELTS test preparation.

I work closely with the British Council as an Educator, as a Teacher-Trainer and an Examiner. In 2010, I became an IELTS examiner for the writing and speaking tests for the British Council. I have extensive experience in preparing candidates for studies in the UK and other countries where English is the main teaching language.
