    I miss prepping up for my IELTS test with you Keith!!! I scored an 8.5 in speaking and a band 8 overall and it was ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! I still keep coming back to your videos even after 2 years of giving my IELTS exam just because your videos are so fun to learn from! Thank you for helping so many of us ❤

    Got my results last Friday: Band Eight.
    Did not at all expect this Band because I really perceived my Speaking Parts pants. But the lovely lady I talked to decided to give me 7.5 nevertheless.
    Got 9 in hearing (which is faaaar better than in practicing) and 8.5 in reading (never really practiced this part to be honest).
    My tip: Do not drive yourself crazy. It will work out better than you might think.

    As I noticed in your speaking... You speak as a real conversation without using any high range of vocabulary and it's very beneficial for understanding .. each and every word of your speaking is understandable ..that is the only thing due to this I like ur videos and prefer to listen only your sessions ☺️☺️

    Hi Keith. There's no word to describe how grateful I am to you and to the effort you put in making these helpful videos. I almost watched alI of your content and didn't regret. I took my exam last July 9 here in the Philippines and got the result in July 24. I would've not reached my target band if it wasn't for you. I'm glad that I found you here on YT, it's like, I've found the sun out of the million stars. I'd definitely recommend you sir! Keep safe and God Bless!
    Well, here's my exam questions:
    P1- Work/Running
    P2- Describe a journey where there was a delay
    P3- Transportation/Travel..

    Hi dear Keith,
    I passed IELTS and these are my new scores: S 6.5, L 6.0, R 7.0, W 6.5, overall 6.5. Maybe these scores are below my expectations, I mean my expectation from myself is higher, but there’s no doubt your courses helped me to improve my previous scores to these new ones. Now, with this new score I can apply for university, because I’ve got the minimum score they need for admission. Now without stress of exam, I can follow your courses and continue to study English with you to improve my language and deepen my knowledge.
    At the end, I’m so grateful and thank you for your help and inspiration. I love you. Take care 💙🌹🙏

    first of all, i want to say thank you for all your videos. they're really useful to us especially that you specified and gave examples on how to incorporate them in daily conversations. sometimes i just read lectures saying we have to use connectors to boost our fluency but we're not so sure if, when we use them, do they sounds natural? or awkward?
    but to be honest, in your lectures, you dissect them one by one and now, we know how to use them.
