Introduction

"Aroosh Sir, we got it"! These were the words I was waiting to hear from 7 exceptional learners at IELTS Counsellor - the place where I have been teaching English since decades.

In the realm of IELTS preparation, the journey of each student is unique, marked by individual challenges and triumphs. Recently, I had the privilege of teaching a batch of students whose dedication and determination were truly remarkable. This post explores their journey, highlighting the strategies employed and the surprising outcome where all students achieved the same total score!

Background

The batch consisted of 7 students, each with diverse backgrounds and varying levels of English proficiency. Despite these differences, they shared a common goal: to achieve their target bands in the IELTS exam. The students were enrolled in an intensive 12-week preparation course, designed to cover all four modules of the IELTS test: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
