Method
Nothing here is bundled by default. You pay for the diagnostic first, and the report you get back decides whether a package makes sense at all. The written plan and the marked tasks are separate paid work, priced on the pricing summary.
One sitting, four skills. Listening and Reading are scored item by item against the public band descriptors. Writing Task 1 and Task 2 come back with a criterion-by-criterion note on each task. Speaking is recorded, then reviewed for fluency, lexical range, grammar range and pronunciation.
You receive a scored profile with a Current and a Target band per skill, the gap between them, and the two skills that will move your overall score fastest.
The fee is credited back against any package booked within 14 days.
A document, not a chat summary. It puts task types in priority order, states the weekly session count, lists the homework artefacts due before each session, and fixes a re-test date.
Delivered within three working days of the diagnostic. If the plan slips, the first marked task after it is free.
Every note names one criterion from the public band descriptors and pairs the diagnosis with a fix. Each essay also returns one paragraph rewritten inside your own content, so you can see the same idea holding at the target band.
Turnaround is three working days per task, and the next task is marked free if we miss it. Read a marked Task 2 excerpt.
Each comment points to a published band descriptor and pairs the diagnosis with a fix. You also get one rewritten paragraph built from your own content, not a model answer to memorise.
Turnaround is three working days. If it slips, the next task is marked free.
Many people believe that universities should provide free education for all students.1 However, this idea is not always practical because governments have limited budgets. In addition, this essay will discuss both sides.2 In my opinion, tuition fees should remain, but support should be targeted at students from low-income families.3
The paragraph opens with a broad claim and only later states a position. Put the controlling idea in the first sentence, then develop it before adding a new topic.
“Discuss both sides” is a task instruction, not an argument. Replace it with a precise phrase that names the trade-off you will examine.
The final sentence is accurate but simple. Combine the concession and the condition: “While fees should remain, grants should target households below a published income threshold.”
Public funding for universities is finite, so free tuition for every student would either lower teaching quality or divert money from primary education. A fairer model keeps tuition fees but directs grants to applicants whose household income falls below a published threshold. This preserves access without pretending that the budget has no limit.
Method / Instructor credibility
Two instructors, both trained on the public band descriptors. Neither claims official examiner status, and we say so before anyone signs up.
