I am a Registered Nurse from South India and the last time I took IELTS, I scored only 6.5 in speaking, but I needed band 7 in all modules.
That’s when I came across iPass IELTS. I was really impressed by their programmes and I enrolled on the iPass IELTS Speaking course with Jenny as my mentor.
I had 3 Speaking practice sessions with Jenny and it was very effective. She helped correct my mistakes and even gave me tips to get a higher score. I felt more confident and got better with each practice session and it reflected in my IELTS scores.
I scored 7.5 in speaking and 7 in all other modules. Thank you, Jenny. I would definitely recommend iPass IELTS to everybody who is looking to improve their IELTS scores and also improve their overall usage of the English language.
