About Course

In their video podcast, Michael and Ashraff engage in a comprehensive review of a recent IELTS General Training (GT) practice test reading section 1. The central theme of this discussion is Ashraff's journey to improve his performance in the GT Reading section of the IELTS exam, as his previous scores fell short of the required minimum for obtaining a work visa in the UK. Notably, Ashraff had only scored a 3.5 on both of his previous IELTS GT reading tests, highlighting the significant challenge he faced. To address this hurdle, Michael and Ashraff have dedicated substantial time to laying the foundations for an effective approach.

In a remarkable display of progress, Ashraff recently undertook two GT Reading practice tests, where he achieved an impressive 13 out of 14 for the first section and 10 out of 13 for the second section, leading to a cumulative score of 23, equivalent to an IELTS GT band score of 5.

At the same time, the student watching this video podcast can download the material and, pausing the video at relevant stages, attempt the test themselves and thereby judge what their current level is. The podcast serves as a platform for them to discuss and share insights into how Ashraff managed this remarkable improvement. It's worth noting that the video content is subtitled and can be slowed down for the video podcast's viewers' convenience. This offers flexibility and ease of understanding for those following along. The podcast provides valuable guidance and strategies for those looking to excel in the GT Reading section of the IELTS exam.

Hi. I’m Michael Lang, a native teacher from the UK and I have been teaching English for nearly 15 years. I have taught thousands of students during that time, many of whom have taken IELTS and succeeded in reaching their linguistic goals. I have a BA degree in Russian (so I know how hard it is to learn a foreign language) as well as a Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA). My language qualifications include CELTA, LCCI FTBE, and teaching IELTS from Cambridge University.
