With over 80 years’ experience in teaching English, we can help you prepare your students so that they achieve an IELTS score that accurately reflects their English level. Our experts have developed a wide range of resources for teachers preparing IELTS test takers.
Road to IELTS online preparation material
Road to IELTS is a powerful tool that you can use as the core material for an IELTS preparation course. It can also be used as a self-access resource by students.
Test takers are more likely to do well if they know what to expect. This is where our Road to IELTS course provides students with a unique advantage. It includes 120 hours of intensive work on Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking, helping candidates to develop their skills to the levels necessary to succeed in IELTS. Crucially, the programme simulates IELTS, enabling candidates to view videos of the Speaking test and to practise against the clock.
