I've got a special treat for listeners this week!  I sat down with Erica Abbett, an academic vocabulary expert for SAT exams who has just written an exam preparation book in the form of a story.  Erica has such a fascinating take on learning academic vocabulary that I thought my listeners would absolutely love to hear what she has to say.  So what are you waiting for, dig in!

In this week's episode, I examine how exactly you can best improve your grammatical errors for your IELTS writing and speaking tasks.

In this episode, I talk about the main errors that I see students making in their IELTS writing and speaking, in terms of grammar.  I break down the difference between complex and simple grammar and how that makes the difference between a 6 and 7 + band score.

With IELTS you CAN win, you CAN reach your goal but you need to understand how you are being assessed and what you need to do to achieve that goal.  Today we are talking about understanding IELTS marking criteria for grammar and what you need to get a 7 in that area.

In this week's episode, I talk about how to manage your time in a way that will help reduce the feelings of stress, overwhelm, and panic when it comes to adding IELTS preparation to your busy schedule.

In this episode, I take a quick look at how you can instantly upgrade your IELTS writing by tossing out vocabulary that is too simple and overused for your essays.  You need to use appropriate academic register in order to get a 7+ band score and I show you one quick way to get there.
