Online IELTS Preparation in Istanbul
Everyone starts from a different place, so that is where we start too. A diagnostic first measures your band in each of the four skills; then we decide how much weight Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking get, based on your target score and the version of the test you are taking. One-to-one tutoring is planned entirely around you, for Academic and General Training alike. The IELTS Academic group course follows a fixed timetable, in classes of no more than 6.

Academic or General Training?
The organisation you are applying to decides which one you take. We prepare candidates for both.
All four skills, prepared in balance
In IELTS, improving one skill on its own is rarely enough to lift your score, because your overall band is the average of all four. So we treat your preparation as a whole: the diagnostic shows how far each skill needs to move, and your time goes to the areas that are genuinely holding you back. Here is the approach we take in each of the four.
Choose the route that suits you
The right route depends on your goal, your timetable and how you like to study. One-to-one tutoring works better if you have a deadline coming up soon or need to move one skill forward fast; the small-group course suits people who like a planned pace and the motivation of studying alongside others. If you can't decide, we'll talk it through with you on a free intro call.
One-to-one IELTS tutoring
A plan built entirely around you, starting with a diagnostic. We identify your weaker skills and give most of each lesson to the two that came out lowest.

Diagnostic
We measure your current band and your strengths and weaknesses in each skill.
Target and plan
We set a realistic study plan around your target band and your test date.
Skills work
We work on Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, giving each one as much weight as you need.

Why IELTS Istanbul?
Lessons are taught live on our own online classroom software; you won't be studying from pre-recorded videos. If you miss a lesson, you can watch the recording for 14 days. Every detail is set up to match real test conditions, so that what you learn here works for you on test day.

You study with experienced Turkish tutors and native English-speaking tutors. We have been preparing candidates for IELTS since 2008, and our teaching is built around the test's four official assessment criteria.
Small groups
With no more than 6 in a class, everyone gets their turn and nobody is overlooked.
The real test format
Every practice session and mock test follows exactly the format you will meet on test day.
Writing feedback
Your Task 1 and Task 2 responses are checked one by one against the four official criteria and returned with specific suggestions.
Speaking practice

The risk is ours: a no-questions-asked refund
