Hi Liz,
Thank you so much for creating this website for the aspirants like myself. There are enormous websites out there which are fake and can extremely damage the self confidence of people planning to take IELTS. I also got caught up with a few of those but feel blessed to have found this website. It is very helpful and contains everything one needs to know for getting a good band score and prepare well with practice tests. I am happy to have completed 10 listening practice tests today and seeing the improvement already. I plan to give my IELTS in January 2023 and I believe with your tips, I can definitely get my desired score.
Sending you lots of love and blessings from India!
Make sure you also use the IELTS Cambridge test books which contain real past papers published by IELTS. I’m glad you are enjoying my website lessons 🙂
How and where can one get the Cambridge IELTS test books?
You can get them on Amazon or in educational books shops.
This was an inspiring read.
Thank you Liz for your efforts in putting put content to help us prepare for the IELTS test.
Just saw the update that he was knighted and he passed away. God bless him
Yes, it’s such an amazing story and such a lovely man.

Thank you liz and I dont rich vocabulary
so some words are difficult to understand.
This is a good time for you to start making a word list and learning new words each day to build your range. But aim for quality, not quantity. This means aim to learn one word in depth rather than learn lots of words superficially.
