The problem

The problem with most IELTS courses

You practise for three months. You take the test. You get the exact same score you started with.

Which, let's be honest, is properly soul-destroying.

Here's why it happens: IELTS doesn't reward practice. It rewards systematic error repair.

The Hidden Rule:

Practice makes you better at practice. Rewriting the same essay with your specific errors fixed — that's what moves the number.

Mocks don't improve you. The redo improves you.

The system

The Band Jump System

Three phases. Twelve weeks. Systematic progression — from stopping the band leaks to performing confidently under exam conditions.

1

Stabilise (Weeks 1–4)

Stop band leaks. Build your Error Log. Learn the thesis structure, A-E-E speaking expansion, and article logic. Fix what's broken before adding complexity.

2

Build Controlled Accuracy (Weeks 5–8)

Fewer errors. Controlled range. Time pressure drills. Coherence under pressure. Practise the control expected around Band 6.5 without treating any score as guaranteed.

3

Apply Repairs Under Exam Conditions (Weeks 9–12)

Precision. Flexibility. Smooth cohesion. Targeted repairs under exam conditions. Final mock, plus your personal "Final 10 Fixes" plan.

The method

The Mini-Mock Engine

Instead of endless practice tests, you'll use a four-step rewriting cycle that targets exactly where your marks are going missing.

1 DO 2 MARK 3 AUTOPSY 4 FIX repeats every week

1. DO

Write a Task 2 essay or speak a Part 3 answer under timed conditions.

2. MARK

Use diagnostic error codes — SVA, ART, REF, LOGIC — to identify precisely what went wrong.

3. AUTOPSY

Answer the real question: why did I make this mistake? What's the pattern underneath it?

4. FIX

Rewrite the same task, applying the repair. This is where you practise making the correction stick.

How it looks in practice — an illustrative Week 3 example

Do You write: "The education is important for development of country."

Three errors are hiding in that sentence — can you spot them?

Mark
Three error codes flagged: ART · ART · ART
Autopsy
Vietnamese doesn't use articles — so your brain skips them under time pressure. It's not carelessness. It's a predictable pattern from your first language.
Fix
You rewrite: "Education is important for the development of a country."
The result
Article omission goes into your Error Log. The goal is to learn to catch it before you write it.

You'll use this cycle every week. Your Error Log is designed to help you identify the recurring issues that deserve the most attention.

Designed for you

Built for Vietnamese learners.
Not adapted from a generic course.

Most IELTS courses are designed for a global audience. This one is built around the specific challenges Vietnamese learners face — because those challenges are precise, predictable, and fixable.

Article Logic

Why "a", "an", and "the" behave the way they do — and why there's no equivalent rule in Vietnamese. You'll build the mental model, not memorise exceptions.

Word Stress & Final Consonants

The pronunciation patterns that affect speaking scores most. We target the specific sounds Vietnamese speakers shift or drop — and fix them systematically.

Plural Logic

Building the mental model for when and why English marks number. Vietnamese doesn't — so your brain has to develop a new reflex, not just learn a rule.

Thesis Placement

The structural difference between Vietnamese and English academic argument. IELTS rewards a direct thesis at the start. This course shows you exactly how to deliver it.

Part 3 Abstract Reasoning

Moving from safe, concrete answers to the speculative language IELTS rewards. This is where Vietnamese learners lose the most marks — and where this course closes the gap.

No translation drills. You'll build mental models for English patterns that don't exist in Vietnamese — so you can apply them automatically, under pressure.

Feedback is honest, specific, and given in a way that keeps confidence high. Because mistakes are data, not failure.

Adam is a British English teacher who has been teaching since 2018, with over 12,000 online classes taught across every level and nationality.

I started in schools and language centres in and around Hanoi, then moved online — teaching across every level, age group, and nationality you can imagine.

My first real experiences of teaching were in Vietnam, and Vietnam gave me more than I gave it. I've spent significant time there over the years — enough to develop a genuine understanding of the culture, the people, and the very specific ways Vietnamese English learners think and communicate.

Course target

A clear target, not a promised outcome

Designed for learners around Band 5.0–6.0 who are targeting approximately 6.5–7.0.

The course runs for 12 weeks. It does not predict or guarantee a particular IELTS result or band increase within that period.

Around 5.0–6.0

The starting range this course is designed around.

Targeting 6.5–7.0

A learner goal, not an expected or guaranteed result.

12 weeks

The fixed course length, not a promised time to reach a particular band.

IELTS results vary and are determined by the examination provider. Your starting level, attendance and work between classes all affect your progress.

How we teach

The teaching philosophy

Every major concept in this course is designed to produce one specific feeling:

"Ohhh... so THAT'S why natives say it like that."

We explain like scientists — logic, reasoning, the "why" behind every rule. We deliver like storytellers — metaphors, visual thinking, and occasional dry British humour.

IELTS is essentially a polite robot with strong opinions about paragraphing. Once you understand how it thinks, you can predict exactly what it wants.

That's the goal. Not to memorise rules — to build the mental model that makes the rules feel obvious.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Vietnamese learners around Band 5.0–6.0 who are targeting approximately 6.5–7.0 for university admission, visa applications, or professional requirements. The first cohort is restricted to learners aged 18 or over and is capped at 20 students.
No — anyone is welcome, from anywhere in the world. The course was built around the specific errors Vietnamese learners make, so some material — the pronunciation work in particular — targets Vietnamese speakers directly. Everything else — the writing method, the Error Log, the rewriting cycle — applies to any IELTS candidate. If you're not Vietnamese, you still get the full system; you'll just occasionally hear me explain a mistake you might not make.
The founding-cohort fee is 3,000,000 VND. A planned later-cohort price is 9,000,000 VND; this is a future price, not a saving against a price previously charged. Learners may later be invited to give feedback or share an IELTS outcome, but participation is voluntary and separate from enrolment and price.
You'll receive a confirmation email immediately. After that, I'll send emails about cohort openings, enrolment, pricing, and IELTS learning resources. You can unsubscribe at any time. When the next cohort opens, waitlist members will receive the enrolment information.
This course was built for online delivery from day one. Every session is taught live on video, with class times scheduled for the Vietnam time zone. The rewriting cycle is a central part of the method and is completed at home, where you can slow down and think through each error properly.
The course runs for 12 weeks and is designed for learners around Band 5.0–6.0 who are targeting approximately 6.5–7.0. The course does not predict or guarantee that a learner will reach a particular band within those 12 weeks.
Most IELTS courses give you practice material and general feedback. This course uses a diagnostic rewriting methodology — you identify your specific error patterns, understand why they happen, and systematically fix them. The curriculum also addresses Vietnamese-specific linguistic challenges that generic courses ignore entirely.
The course is fully online. All classes are delivered live via video, so you can join from anywhere. Session times are scheduled with Vietnamese time zones in mind.
No new cohort date has been approved for publication. Join the waitlist to hear when controlled enrolment opens for the next cohort. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a place.
Approximately 3–4 hours per week. The most important work happens between classes: completing your rewriting cycle, updating your Error Log, and applying the repairs from the previous session before the next one.
The live course may include teaching across IELTS skills. The BandJump app included with the first cohort is a Writing practice companion only; it does not currently provide Speaking scoring or AI feedback, Reading, or Listening features.
