Thank You! I've got 6.5 on writing with only your lessons and overall 7 band! Thank you once more!

So I came here to just say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART I always had a band score 5.5 writing but I was watching your videos literally the night before the exam and got band score 7.5 thanks to your instructions.
I know it’s not much band score difference but for someone that never actually bothered to practice that made me very happy and proud for myself. I got the overall band score I wanted thanks to you . Again thank you 😊❤️
