Hey Keith
Your channel deserve to be subscribed. Your level of teaching is just outstanding. Hats off to you.

[dulcecarvalho]

Excellent! I've been speaking English for 30 years but listening to him made me realize that there is still so much room for improvement 😊

[warriorharry]

I took my test last week and I got 8. I understood, There’s literally nothing to worry. If you can speak English, you can do the speaking test. It’s that simple. Don’t stress urself with too many tips or high vocabulary etc. Imagine u r speaking to just a random person in English. That’s it. You’ll get 7 for it.
All the best

Thank you Keith. Just got home, done with my IELTS speaking. Before I go I watched this video. A big help and thank you a lot. God bless. From Phils

[areese]

Hello Mr. Keith, I am a fan of yours from Philippines. Thank you very much for reminding me to be calm and relaxed. Some teachers really scare the hell out of me sometimes.

[chitvankaur]

Hi I scored 7.5 in speaking even though I stopped once for around 10 seconds (or more) ..the examiner had to repeat the question and I also hesitated in a couple of part 2 follow up ques but still I scored 7.5 because I used the simple yet effective methods of this video.... I used the phrase "nothing to talk home about" when asked about my home and I can tell the examiner looked a lil impressed... I spoke naturally and used good vocab as well..

thank so muchhhh Keith ...

[saris]

Thank you Keith for your informative videos. I got a 8.5 in Speaking. Had my IELTS test last week. Was asked about my thoughts on 'Borrowing' and to describe 'the kind of Home I wish to have in the future'. All the best to those reading this.
