About Bespoke IELTS
Tired of being stuck at 6.0 when you need 7.0 for work, study, or professional registration? Our clear, logical teaching moves students from 5.0 to 6.0 — then 6.0 to 7.0 and higher.

Two stages — two different strategies
Stage 1 → Band 6.0
For speaking and writing, we start by removing counter-productive habits like direct translation from your first language or over-planning that wastes time. We then teach a clear, simple, logical structure that gets the basics right every time. This is often the key difference between a 5.5 and a 6.0 — no confusion, no wasted effort.
Stage 2 → Band 7.0 and above
Once the foundation is solid, we build a vocabulary bank of real, natural collocations used in the right context, fine-tune grammar to eliminate as many errors as possible (the real secret to high grammar scores, not complicated structures), and teach relevant topic development that's extended just enough. This control helps access the higher bands of 7.0 and up.
Our Teaching Credentials
Extensive marking and examining experience across multiple high-stakes English tests
Deep, practical knowledge of how official IELTS criteria are applied by real examiners
Taught in intensive programmes in Asia and Europe — including Ireland, the UK, and China
Experience with candidates from diverse linguistic backgrounds and starting levels
Specialised preparation for regulated professions: nursing (NMBI), medicine (IMC), and academic entry
Ireland & Professional Registration
We have specific experience preparing candidates for NMBI nursing registration and IMC medical registration in Ireland — professions requiring an overall Band 7 with no skill below 6.5 — and, for nurses (NMBI), at least 7.0 in three of the four skills. These requirements demand a different level of preparation precision.
How Marking Criteria Really Work
Most coaching focuses on what to say. We focus on how examiners actually apply the four criteria and where marks are won or lost. This examiner-level understanding is the foundation of everything we teach.
