IELTS is this incredible English test that can change lives. For real โค๏ธ

Owning to IELTS, I was able to apply and get admitted to GSOM SPbU (the best business school of Russia and Eastern Europe) and later - to CEMS (unique double-degree programme during which I studied at the St. Gallen University in Switzerland). Never paying for education!

But do you know that I didn't actually prepare for the test for months? In fact, I procrastinated a lot and only started preparation when it was 3.5 weeks left until the IELTS date! I was alone in my struggle. Had to look through dozens of resources to extract the ones worth using. Come up with several planners to find the one that worked.

But SO motivated to get into the business school of dreams for Master's that I didn't stop at anything, especially since there was no time to waste.

I recorded the call, it was incredible โค๏ธ

Thanks everyone for coming, I loved all the practice answers and I hope the feedback was insightful!
AFTER THE GROUP CALL...

I wanted to make some notes. We had such a great talk that it really makes sense to write down some ideas โœจ

1) We discussed methods of practicing fluency on your own with no partner. Participants shared their own ways:
โ€” record answers to practice questions, listen and note mistakes to work on them
โ€” talk in front of the mirror, practicing maintaining eye-contact for the exam
โ€” record yourself reading out loud paying attention to pronunciation features (intonations, stress)

2) We talked about struggles of IELTS preparation. Participants identified:
โ€” difficult to figure out what materials are worthy, too many sources out there
โ€”no detailed feedback with corrections to writing & speaking
โ€” difficult to understand your own weaknesses and build a study plan
โ€”challenging to find a study buddy and a supportive community
โ€” no support or no-one to seek advice from, ask questions

What other stuggles do you have in your IELTS prep?
โ€‹โ€‹1 DAY UNTIL THE ROCKET IELTS COURSE START ๐Ÿš€

On Monday (April 5) we will start the most comprehensive IELTS preparation course where you get a chance to be guided by me and a native speaker from the UK to the target 7+ band score.

I wholeheartedly recommend joining this course everyone who feels lost, doesn't how where to start preparation, what materials and practice papers to use, those who don't have clear strategies for solving every module without mistakes, whose who have weak vocabulary range or lack fluency.

We will make sure every IELTS-related skill is boosted during the course:
โ€” all 4 IELTS modules: theory + practice + step-by-step strategies for every question type
โ€” Speaking & Writing: sample answers, analysis, frameworks for band 7+
โ€” Writing: lots of practice essays written with feedback, corrections, advice for improvement
โ€” Speaking: 4 types of practice during the course with feedback
โ€” vocabulary: work with authentic sources and strategies for learning more words
โ€” full mock tests to track your progress
โ€” coherence & cohesion, grammar, fluency, setting goals and much more...

All students join the Rocket Community of WSE where I make sure everyone gets my fullest attention and answers to all their questions. You will never be alone in this journey again โค๏ธ

Stop wasting money and time on retaking the test, make sure you come fully prepared at the first attempt!
10 ENGLISH WORDS YOU DON'T KNOW

Probably. But I bet you don't because 10/10 of them were new to me! ๐Ÿคช Here in this video I give definitions and examples so that it's easier for you to understand and use the words.

These are great for making your speech more lively in IELTS or TOEFL - but always take into account the context!

๐ŸŽ There is a gift PDF with even more examples in the video!

โšก๏ธ WHERE TO FIND A SPEAKING PARTNER?

This has been one of the most pressing questions among all English learners for a long time. Almost a year ago I created the WSE Speaking Partners Matching service that would match you with another person who fits your criteria for practice. For free.

This service was a huge success! Thousands of people have used and loved it! โค๏ธ They found friends, reliable partners and study-buddies all over the world.

However, there were some disadvantages to the initial system - we had to match people by hand, it took time (days!) and sometimes partners had trouble connecting to each other because of the time difference or other obstacles.

I have been thinking about possible improvements to the service and ways of making it more flexible and accessible for everyone, without having to wait. Many people requested an app to meet others and talk on their phone on the spot ...

So I am now proudly introducing a collaboration between Speak Peak and World Speaks English! We have teamed up to bring you a new exciting tool to get matched with speaking partners in seconds and start talking right away! ๐ŸŽ‰

The matching will continue to be free and is now accessible on your mobile device (iOS or Android) - just follow the link and sign up!

See you at Speak Peak! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’œ
