I provide IELTS Online Training for both General and Academic modules. So, you can choose to train yourself according to your requirements.
It's easy to get an average 7 with 4 weeks of preparation provided my assumption is true. If you need a 7+ in writing, then it all comes down to your current quality of language. Without knowing your current quality it is difficult to predict the time frame.
IELTS is not perfect, but it is certainly not unfair. In fact, it is probably the best measure of a person’s English skills.
Do remember that 7 bands in every module is not a piece of cake, so start practicing from now on!
-------- Academic IELTS vs General Training IELTS------------
**** Which one is easier: the IELTS General or the IELTS Academic?
Both versions of the test have the same general format. Your English writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills will be tested separately no matter which version you take. In fact, there aren’t any differences between the listening and speaking sections at all. Both writing versions involve two writing tasks and both reading versions ask 40 questions in response to assigned readings. Differences begin to appear, however, in the nature of the content and task types.
Ultimately these tests really are 70% similar, and you won’t have a choice as to which format you sit for. So it’s probably better to figure out how hard the IELTS will be for you.
***** What is essential to score a high band?
Most of the students do well in their Listening, Reading and Speaking sessions but scoreless bands in the Writing section. This is due to a lack of sentence formation and also repeated use of the same words within an essay. I would like to add a point on grammar and vocabulary.
Where do you begin? A focused IELTS study plan will show you which areas to study and practice every day, gradually preparing you for test day.
----- IELTS study plan (reading, listening, writing, speaking)
----- The IELTS Writing. Modules test your ability to produce two quite different pieces of writing in a fairly short period of time. Before applying to sit the test, you need to decide whether to take the Academic or the General Training module. Each module is divided into two parts and you have only one hour to complete both pieces of writing.
----- IELTS Reading. Reading Techniques & Strategies.
------ IELTS Listening: Essential Skills and Strategies.
------ IELTS Speaking: IELTS mind map to organize and brainstorm your answer for the speaking

Extra information
****How much would you score yourself in both written and spoken English?
-----Most of the students when asked that question call themselves a “good user” of English, without paying close attention to the purpose and meaning behind that debrief. It’s true that the writing section is the biggest obstacle for most students.

About Me
Certified and Experienced English and Russian Tutor - To all New Students -
Hi there! My name is Marina, I’m an English teacher from Russia. I’m currently living in Ukraine, where I am teaching English/Russian online. I started teaching English/Russian professionally in 2000 shortly after graduating from University. I have my Master's degree in ESL Education, as well as a TESOL certificate (Arizona State University, 2018).
Why learn with me?
My lessons are really interesting, interactive and always designed to help your personal English/Russian needs and goals. So, if you would like to improve your pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, I welcome you to join my lessons and we can achieve your goals together.
I possess 17 years of corporate experience in the Finance, Banking, Technology and Construction industries (M.A. Building Engineering, B.A. in Accountancy)
My main areas of teaching are general English/Russian, Business English/ Russian, IELTS preparation, Russian Tests preparation, English for kids.
My areas of specialty are report writing/business and also presentations in English/Russian.
I enjoy developing a strong rapport with my students, combining dynamic and fun classes with a professional style. I will inspire you to succeed on your path to learning and improving your English/Russian whether it be for professional or personal use.
What factors can influence my progress?
– Frequency of lessons
Every lesson begins with a revision of material from previous lessons. The more often you take lessons, the better you remember the revised material and the less repetition you need. If you do less repetition, you have more time for new work and you progress faster.
– Connection quality
It’s very important that your tutors and you can hear each other clearly. Your tutor and you will speak simultaneously a lot of the time, so it’s important that there is no lag. If there are sound issues, your lessons will be less efficient and your progress will be slower.
– Exercises
Between lessons, you will be able to do Exercises that will help you revise on your own as well as practice spelling. If you do these exercises regularly, you will remember previous lessons better and needless repetition.
