Felipe’s journey and challenges

Felipe’s dream of establishing a life in Australia with his wife was very close. However, he had to pass the IELTS Exams first.

 

The exam required a minimum score of 7 in each band, a requirement for obtaining a skilled visa. Felipe was determined, but the path ahead was filled with obstacles.

 

Felipe’s initial encounters with the IELTS exam did not go so well. His score in the writing section did not reach the band 7 cut off mark. 

 

Despite his best efforts, his writing did not improve. He embarked on a journey of self-improvement, seeking guidance from an English teacher and an online language course. Yet, the results remained the same.

 

How Felipe used the right tools to improve his band score

 

In his pursuit, Felipe found our online IELTS course. The IELTS Writing Task 2 Sentence Guide particularly caught his attention. Felipe used this course and tools to prepare for his IELTS Exam.

 

Felipe found an array of tools at his disposal from IELTS Podcast online course:
