As some of you know, I've been sick for many years which is why I haven't made any videos recently. But my videos are all still valid. I continue to post tips on my website when I can - www.ieltsliz.com, so check that out if you need more exam preparation materials and more tips. As soon as my health allows, I'll continue making videos. I really miss making these lessons for you. So, wish me luck in my recovery as I wish you all luck in your test!! All the best, Liz

Back here in 2024 to say thank you for these videos! This was the first video I came across and it really helped. Just got my results back and I made a band 8. Thank you so very much

If you're taking the IELTS exam, please listen to Liz's tips and youtube videos. I took it back in 2020 with no preparation and 3 hours of sleep after my flight got delayed and rerouted the day of my exam (you can imagine the stress I was going through) and while I was at the airport, I was watching her videos to help me prepare. I had an overall of 8.0. I had to retake my exam in 2022 where I followed a newer youtube channel, thinking it would be more updated. I ended up getting 7.5 overall, with a really low writing score. I was so disappointed in myself that I decided to retake the exam exactly 1 month later, where I rewatched all of Liz's videos and ended up getting an overall score of 8.5. I was able to raise my scores in every section by .5 or by 1 all thanks to Liz.

Hey Liz, I got my results today. 5-7 days of preparation using your videos as guidelines. I scored 8.5 overall (L-8.5, R-8.5, W-8, S-8.5). Thank you. May God grant you good health. Please keep me in your prayers too.

Even her smile can change the world. She has an amazing charisma and a friendly aura. God bless her and her family.

Hi, this is an answer to Bishal Tuladhar's comment. If the essay question is short, then your introduction will also be short. It's no problem at all. Certainly don't try to add more irrelevant information to make it longer. You will have a short background statement and a clear thesis statement - that's all that is important.
All the best
Liz
