The best way to study for your IELTS is with E2’s IELTS courses:

[cold_rainy_day]

To sum up:
1. Don't start your essay without making notes about what you're going to write
2. Read the statement carefully, to cover all points in your essay
3. Avoid word and idea repetitions and mechanical linking
4. Develop your ideas in a well-structured way
5. Us a variety of sentence types
6. Show your knowledge of specific vocabulary related to the topic
7. And all this is a matter of practice, so practice, practice as much as you can

(btw use also some phrasal verbs )

And I couldn't have done this without the help of this channel.
Thank you <3

I want to say a very big thank you to this team. I had just about a week to prepare for my exams and my only materials were your videos. I had an 8.5 in listening, 9 in reading, 7 in writing and 7.5 in speaking. Overall band score of 8

[eirasam]

Just got my IELTS (Academic) results and got a 7.5 overall with an 8 in reading. This was only after less than 3 days of prep and watching your videos so I'm pretty proud of myself. Thanks! 😅

[xnzixzn]

Just got my results for my first IELTS. My overall score is 7, 5. I recently discovered this channel and it helped me gain confidence before the exam, so thank you!

Hi, I just want to say thank you to you guys, I watched your videos, did the free trial exam practice on your website and I wrote ielts for the first time 30th March 2023 in my country Nigeria and my results are; speaking 9, listening 7.5, reading 7.5 and writing 7.
To be honest, I was very scared of writing as this is not a place I tend to excel but I got the required band I need as a doctor and I’m very happy. Thank you.
To the new people, I just want to say the exam isn’t as difficult as we think it is. Just practice, read more essays and you’ll do great

All the teachers at E2 are nothing sort of amazing! This channel was helpful in unimaginable ways, and especially the Writing Task 2 videos were platinum standard!
First attempt: S 8.5, R 9, L 7.5 (my ADHD got better of me I guess), W 7
Second attempt: S 9, R 9, L 9, W 7.5

Why do the majority of comments below seem fake? I mean people who said they scored 7+ band have fake names.

[lilianmungai]

I DON'T comment on any content but this one deserves a big shout out. I'm here just say a big thank you. I only watched your videos for three days to my exams since I had a busy schedule. I did my exam on 1st April. I got my results yesterday. I scored
Reading-6.5
Speaking-7.5
Writing _7
Listening _7
Total band 7. I'm eternally grateful for this channel.
