The IELTS Test: Candidates receive their scores within two weeks, giving them a band score of between 1 (no language ability) to 9 (native-speaker level language ability). Generally speaking, most universities require a score of 6 or 7 to enter their programmes, depending on the university and the degree or postgraduate program the student is applying for. Students wishing to enroll at universities take the academic module of the IELTS test, while there is also a 'General Training' module of the test (with simplified reading and writing sections) which is often taken by candidates wishing to join an overseas high school, or for migration purposes.

Summary

While the importance of the IELTS test and IELTS preparation courses are sometimes misinterpreted or overvalued, it is clear that an internationally recognised, standardised test of English is a necessity.

IELTS opens the doors to international study opportunities and eventually global job opportunities to students from all over the world.

Why should I do an IELTS Preparation Course?

Many IELTS candidates do not get the band score that they should because they are not familiar with the IELTS Test format. IELTS Preparation Courses at ITS tutorial school are designed to give candidates:

• .A very good understanding of the IELTS Test
• .Practice in the 4 parts of the Test: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking
• A "mock" (practice) test under examination conditions
• Practice in the kind of questions they will have to answer in the exams
• Advice in how to improve their exam technique
• Constructive feedback to increase their chances of success

What level of English do I need to be accepted on to these courses?

These courses prepare candidates who need to take the Academic Module and you will need to have an Upper Intermediate or an Advanced level of English to benefit from them.

General Training Module Courses are also available.                                   

Which IELTS Test Preparation Course is right for you?

Private Tutoring

.If you prefer one-on-one, need a flexible schedule, or want to get maximum efficiency working with your own private tutor, this is the perfect course for you.

Small Group Training

.If you like the idea of private tutoring, but also want to learn from other students and interact with students at a similar language level, this one is best for you.

Classroom Courses

Small classes mean you’ll get the personal attention you need. Our maximum class size is 8 students.

Private Tutoring	Takes place at our school in Central, on a mutually agreed schedule. Private tutoring allows three advantages over a class: Direct supervision - the tutor can monitor the student's progress at all times. Scheduling preference - the tutor can meet at a time convenient to you. Tailoring - during a lesson, and within the course as a whole, the tutor can adjust to the student's individual learning needs. Fees for private tutoring - $590 per hour.
Small Group Tutoring	This is an economical alternative. If you are in a position to put together a small group of students who'd be interested in taking an IELTS course together, we are happy to accommodate you. In many cases, two, three or four students have joined to take advantage of the course, thus substantially reducing the cost of private tutoring because the hourly rate of the instruction is split among the students involved. If your son or daughter has friends who are at a similar academic level, as diligent as your child and have similar aims, this small group tutoring option presents a great way to maximize your results while keeping your costs low. Fees for small group tutoring (hourly) - 2 students, $420 per student. 3 students, $380 per student. 4 students, $340 per student.
Full Classroom Courses	ITS is offering 2 different modules to help you prepare for the IELTS exam.  The modules can be taken individually or at the same time or one after the other, giving you more flexibility in your preparation. Each module will consist of 8 hours of class time.  The maximum number of students in a class will be 10 and the class will run with a minimum of 3 students. The cost of one module is $2000, however if you take both modules 1 and 2 in a three month period, we will give you a 15% discount off the cost of the second module.

Course Design

ITS Tutorial School provides the study material and course notes for each class. The course notes focus completely on the IELTS exam. Supplementary materials are also used to add variety and consolidate the course materials. Teachers set homework after each class. Students are expected to complete all homework assignments.  The IELTS exam is challenging and students must be prepared to devote plenty of time to private study if they wish to achieve their target score. Every week there is revision of the work done in the previous week. We believe that revision and reinforcement are necessary learning tools.

The types of IELTS Training Course available at ITS Tutorial School

IELTS Speaking and Listening course focuses strictly on the speaking and listening part of the test. This increases grammatical proficiency, in key areas such as tenses and grammatical structures. The teacher also focuses on the academic vocabulary which is intended to increase lexical resource; this is done through discussing and presenting facts and opinions about a range of topics. The listening section will focus on a number of strategies for dealing with listening for gist and listening for specific details and also anticipating answers and how to focus on more than one question and learning more about native English speakers.
