Many students fail to reach Band 6.5 because they can't give extended and fluent answers in writing and speaking. Mastering IELTS: A Theme Based Approach solves this common problem.
- What advice do IELTS examiners give?
- Stop trying to boost your score with tips and tricks, just work on your English. You must be able to ‘develop topics fully’ for a high band score.
- Trying to use idioms in strange places does not increase your score. Using collocations naturally and appropriately will. Read and listen to a variety of sources to develop a better understanding of collocations.
- If you get to Part 3 of the speaking and you are not thinking about the topic deeply, you will not get a high score. We are not interested in your personal experience in Part 3.
- Essay writing at a high level requires ‘well developed responses and extended ideas’, not cookie cutter essay responses. Make sure you outline your essay before you write it.

who have taken this course would recommend you to join if you fit any of the following:
You need a Band 6.5 or higher
You have limited time to improve
Band 6.5 requires you to get at least two Band 7 scores. This is not easy, and requires ‘extended support’, ‘clear progression of ideas’, ‘precise use of vocabulary’, and a ‘range of error free grammar’. Tips and tricks aren’t going to help you here, only good English will!
On average, it takes 3 months of study to raise a bandscore by 0.5. Mastering IELTS: A Theme Based Approach cuts this time for dedicated students. The modules are designed to give you the maximum benefit in the minimum time, but it’s your hard work that will bring you success!
You lack confidence in writing or speaking
You know that speaking or writing about something at a high level is difficult. Try talking about your favourite hobby for five minutes and see how hard this is. How can you be confident in the test if you don’t have good knowledge and understanding? You can’t! This course asks questions that will engage your critical thinking skills and give you the confidence you need.
You get stressed in higher pressure situations
Some people are fine talking to their friends, but when it comes to tests they fall apart. Don’t let that be you! Mastering IELTS will give you the confidence to chat with the examiner like an old friend. You will even be able to predict the speaking questions and be ready with deep and meaningful answers.

Out of the 1000s of students we have helped, none of them were aware of the common question types used in Part 3 Speaking.
After completing Mastering IELTS: A Theme Based Approach, students know that whatever questions come up, they are ready to impress!
Okay, but I think I can just do some practice tests.
Sure you can, and they are useful for test technique. But, only a well structured course will build knowledge and confidence for any questions that arise.

Meet Your Mentor
Andrew Matthews is an engineer turned educator. After spending 15 years providing technology solutions for industry, he retrained as a teacher of English. He completed his Master of Education while teaching academic English full time in the top universities of South East Asia.
He then trained as an IELTS examiner and worked for IDP in Thailand and Vietnam for four years, examining writing and speaking. During this time, he was a course designer and full time teacher of academic English and IELTS, as well as a teacher trainer for educational technology.
He wrote Mastering IELTS: A Theme Based Approach in 2021 to specifically address the problems his students were having in breaking through the Band 6.5 barrier. He found that his students simply did not have enough understanding of common topics, and how they relate to each other, to be able to perform in the test.
It was during this writing process that Andrew discovered IELTS LMS which led to a perfect match of content and technology. Students can learn independently, or with a trainer, through courses designed by educators. Seamless integration of study material, assessment and feedback, is simply not available anywhere else online.
