Welcome to this 13-hour Masterclass on IELTS Speaking. Here, you'll learn how to answer every type of Speaking question in a step-by-step manner. This course contains practice questions, breakdown of speaking strategies, and exercises in pronunciation, vocabulary and organization of your responses. By the end of this course, you will know how to answer every section of the speaking test in the right way so that you can score Band 7+ on your test.

This course is divided into 3 main parts. Think of it like cooking your favorite dish. First, you need the ingredients - so in Part 1, I'll show you the four ingredients you need to get a high band. Next, in Part 2, you'll learn our secret recipe and strategies for constructing your responses step-by-step (with full breakdown). And finally, in Part 3, I'll show you how to put everything together (with live examples from real students).

Upon completing all 3 parts of this course, you will feel confident in responding to every section of the speaking exam. And my hope is that this will allow you to get a high score so that you may pursue your goals of working or studying in English-speaking countries.
