Teaching IELTS in our Academy is limited to language materials to master the language world of IELTS, as well as practice activities, practice tests, useful IELTS teaching tips, plans and strategies aimed at how to overcome challenges and pass the exam.

Accordingly, our Academy has developed the IELTS VOCABULARY CORPUS OF ACADEMIC WORDS through the Lextutor VP web tool and establishes a link between the IELTS vocabulary academic corpus and classroom practice, meeting language skills requirements equivalent to CEFR C1, C2 levels. In view of the above, the course aims to address the lack of language skills for IELTS takers, help potential IELTS takers overcome some difficulties in topic-based vocabulary, and provide useful IELTS teaching tips and strategies to overcome of the challenges and passing the Exam.
