Strategy before Mocks.
Learn what each question is testing before you race the clock. Build the reading, writing, and language skills behind a stronger score — then use mocks to prove them.
Same passage. Three ways to read it.
Top scorers don't read every word. Tap Skim to map the structure, or Scan to hunt the facts — and watch the same text change.
One 20–30 minute sprint.One exam skill you can use.
Learn the method, make the decision yourself, and get feedback before the same mistake follows you into another mock.

See the skill clearly
Start with a visual explanation of what the examiner is testing and what a strong answer must do.
Make the right decision
Compare strong and weak answers, identify the trap, and learn the reason behind the correct choice.
In a Task 1 report, the overview should…
Tap an answer
Practise with support
Complete the key step yourself while examples, prompts, and word banks give you just enough help.
The old factory was demolished and a block of apartments was constructed to the north of the river.
Apply it and improve
Use the skill in your own answer, then get immediate feedback on what works and what to fix next.
Write a one-sentence overview
“Overall, the town became more residential — the factory was replaced by housing, while the park stayed unchanged.”
- Clear overview, no detail dump
- Groups the key changes
- Accurate comparison language
Three problems.Not three difficulty levels.
Word Forms, Collocation and Precision are all marked under the same criterion, but each one removes a different fault: the form errors that make a known word score as unknown, the pairings and register that leave a sentence grammatical and still wrong, and the judgement a near-synonym carries. Start where your writing actually loses marks — not at the highest band you can read.
Not sure which one is yours?
Fifteen one-tap questions find which kind of mistake is still live in your writing, then name the course. No account, nothing saved — and it can send you down a tier rather than up.
Word Forms
Stop guessing between danger and dangerous. Learn how to read the sentence slot before you choose the word, spell the academic words examiners see most, replace the five words you repeat, and remove the errors that make known words score as unknown.
Fixes · Word form & spelling
Collocation
Stop collecting impressive words. Learn which verb belongs with which noun, how register changes between Writing and Speaking, how near-synonyms differ in strength, and which memorised phrases examiners discount on sight.
Fixes · Collocation & register
Precision
Stop reaching for rare words. Learn the judgement a near-synonym carries, the company a word keeps, the six words Band 7 candidates most confidently misuse, and when the ordinary word is the higher-scoring choice.
Fixes · Connotation & judgement
Small errors.Every sentence you write.
Articles, agreement and tense go wrong in sentence after sentence and cost a mark each time. Everything gets joined with “and”, because nothing else feels safe. The point ends up buried in the middle where the reader walks past it. Three different faults, all marked under one criterion.
IELTS Structure And Emphasis: Stop Burying Your Main Point
Every sentence here is already correct. This course is about which of two correct sentences puts your reader's attention where you want it. Benchmarked to IELTS Band 7 to 8, useful whether or not you take the test.
IELTS Complex Sentences: Join Two Ideas Without Breaking
Join two ideas in one sentence, and finish every sentence you start. Link words, clauses that describe a noun, if-sentences and -ing openers, with the control to use each one without breaking it. Benchmarked to IELTS Band 6 to 7, useful whether or not you take the test.
IELTS Sentence Accuracy: Fix The Small Errors In Every Sentence
Fix the small grammar errors that make every sentence hard work to read: articles, plurals, agreement, tense, punctuation, and checking your own writing. Not a grammar reference, just the faults that cost marks. Benchmarked to IELTS Band 5 to 6, useful whether or not you take the test.
The ideas are there.The reader loses them.
At this level the English is no longer the problem. Ideas get mentioned once and never explained, and paragraphs lose the reader halfway through. Both are marked on the whole answer rather than on any sentence in it, which is why no amount of grammar practice moves them.
IELTS Paragraph And Progression: Keep The Reader With You
Keep your reader with you from the first paragraph to the last: one topic per paragraph, references they can follow, and an essay that arrives somewhere. Not a linking-words course. Benchmarked to IELTS Band 6 to 7, useful whether or not you take the test.
IELTS Developing An Idea: Explain It, Don't Just Mention It
Your ideas are relevant, but each one stops after a sentence and a half. Learn five moves that turn a claim into a paragraph a reader can follow, even one who disagrees. Benchmarked to IELTS Band 6 to 7, useful whether or not you take the test.
Know why an answer worksbefore the clock starts.
Reading covers passage navigation, evidence, paraphrase, question types, traps, and timing. Writing covers task analysis, ideas, structure, language, and feedback. Looking for words rather than method? The vocabulary shelf is below.

Read the question clearly. Write the answer precisely.
Go beyond memorising definitions. Learn how academic words change meaning, strengthen an argument, and improve answers across English, science, humanities, and entrance tests. All three courses cover the same seven skills, pitched up a level each time.
Not sure which level is yours?
Fifteen one-tap questions find which academic words are already solid — describing, analysing, evaluating evidence — then name the course. No account, nothing saved. The class a student sits in is a poorer guide than it looks, so this can send you down a level rather than up.
Class 11–12 Academic Vocabulary: Think And Write Like A Scholar
You're about to enter the world of research papers, competitive exams, university lectures and scholarly writing, and its vocabulary is different: precise, layered, and often rooted in Latin and Greek. Words like epistemology, fallacy, paradigm and juxtapose aren't decoration; they are tools for thinking at a level school vocabulary can't reach. This course teaches those tools and trains you to use them like a scholar, not someone memorising synonyms.
Class 9–10 Academic Vocabulary: Words That Turn Answers Into Analysis
Your textbooks have levelled up, and your vocabulary needs to as well. In Class 6–8 you learned to name, describe and compare; now you need to analyse, evaluate, hypothesise, argue and critique. This course gives you the exact academic words that separate average exam answers from top-scoring ones, and trains you to use them precisely.
Class 6–8 Academic Vocabulary: Use The Words Your Textbooks Use
Your textbooks and exam papers are full of words you half-know. You can read them and roughly guess what they mean, but can you use them in answers, essays, science reports and arguments? This course turns "I've seen that word" into "I know exactly when to use it."
