As a British Council certified IELTS Trainer, I conduct a 5-week immersive course for IELTS for test takers who wish to achieve Band 7 or more in each of the section of the exam. Classroom sessions are conducted over the weekends in a well-equipped training room in Koramangala, Bangalore. The duration of each session is over 3.5 hours. The batch strength is limited to 6 in order to provide individual attention to the needs of every participant. Although classroom training is conducted over the weekends, it's an intense course with daily inputs for skill improvement as well as grammar and vocabulary lessons. A wide range of materials from intermediate to advanced levels are provided, depending on the proficiency level of each individual. The course beings with an assessment test to guage the initial language level, and the course materials are designed to address the specific needs of the group.
The group is also limited to a small number as there is a lot of focus on writing in the course, with detailed evaluation and feedback for every writing task. The highlight of the course is that even beyond the 5 weeks of classroom sessions, all participants continue receiving practice tests and lessons online, and have their speaking and writing responses assessed till the time they take the exam. Thus, there is guidance for the complete duration of the test preparation.
