We plan your IELTS preparation by measuring, not guessing

We balance all four skills around a single goal
IELTS measures four skills separately: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. A good result doesn't come from treating them in isolation but from planning them in balance, around the band score you need. That is the thinking behind the way we build your preparation.
Every student starts with a diagnostic test. Once your current level and your target are clear, we decide how much weight each skill should get, and we build the Reading and Writing differences between the Academic and General Training versions into your plan.
Writing and Speaking are assessed against the official band descriptors, so you always know what you are doing and why. Your progress is measured regularly with practice tests in the real test format.
- Listening
- Understanding different accents and spotting the options designed to mislead you
- Reading
- Time management and strategies for each question type
- Writing
- Focusing on the official assessment criteria in Task 1 and Task 2
- Speaking
- Fluency, pronunciation and one-to-one rehearsal in the test format
“We don't guarantee a particular band. Instead, after every practice test we show you where you stand in each of the four skills and mark the question types where you keep making the same mistake.”
From diagnostic test to test day
Diagnostic test
We start with an assessment of your Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Your plan is built on the level we measure, not on an estimate.
Target band plan
We compare the score your application requires with your current level, and use that to decide how many lesson hours each skill should get.
Live online lessons
One-to-one or in groups of no more than 6, you get regular practice and feedback from tutors who know the IELTS format well.
Practice tests and progress tracking
We measure your progress with practice tests in the real format and assess your Writing and Speaking against the official band descriptors.
Why IELTS Istanbul?
- Planning from your measured level
- Every preparation plan starts with a diagnostic test across all four skills. Your study plan rests on your real starting point, not on guesswork.
- A focus on your target band
- We weight the skills according to the score your university, visa or professional application requires, and cut out the work you don't need.
- Tutors who teach IELTS
- You study with Turkish tutors and with tutors who are native speakers of English, all of whom teach IELTS lessons. Lessons are built on the test's official assessment criteria, so you always know what you are working on and why.
- Small groups and one-to-one lessons
- Groups of no more than 6, or lessons that are entirely one-to-one, so every student gets enough feedback and speaking practice.
