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 6.5 Consistency (Weeks 5–8)

Fewer errors. Controlled range. Time pressure drills. Coherence under pressure. Make Band 6.5 your floor, not your ceiling.

3

Convert to 7.0 (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

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 band jumps happen.

How it looks in practice — a real Week 3 example

Do You write: "The education is important for development of country."
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. By Week 8, you catch it before you write it.

You'll use this cycle every week. By Week 12, your Error Log tells you exactly which three things stand between you and your target band.

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.

Feedback from students who have studied with Adam.

The Band Jump Protocol IELTS cohort is new. Results from cohort one students will be added here as they come in. The testimonials below are from previous English students.

What's possible

What students who do the work can achieve

Band jumps happen when students do two things consistently: complete the rewriting cycle every week, and use their Error Log between classes.

When that happens, here's what the trajectory typically looks like:

5.0/5.5 → 6.5

The expected outcome for students who engage fully with the rewriting cycle throughout Phase 1 and Phase 2. Requires consistent attendance and completing rewrites between classes.

5.5/6.0 → 7.0+

Achievable for students who commit fully to all three phases, maintain an accurate Error Log, and take the final mock seriously as a diagnostic tool — not just a score.

4–6× faster

Improvement vs. generic practice. Not because this course is magic — because targeting your specific errors is simply more efficient than practising things you already do correctly.

Results depend on your starting level, your consistency outside class, and how honestly you engage with your Error Log. Individual results vary. The band trajectories above reflect expected outcomes for students who complete all weekly assignments and attend all sessions — they are not guarantees. This course gives you the system. The jump is yours to make.

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.

The guarantee

Do the work. If it doesn't move the number, the next cohort is on us.

If you attend 80% or more of sessions, complete every rewriting cycle, and do not reach your target band after your next official IELTS test, you join the next cohort at no charge.

No complicated process. No arguing about whether you qualify. If you did the work and it didn't move the number, you come back.

The condition exists because it reflects how improvement actually works: the students who attend and complete the rewrites improve. The guarantee is there for the rare case where that doesn't happen.

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.
New cohorts open monthly, with each cohort capped at 20 students. The current founding cohort is enrolling now. Join the waitlist to secure your place in the next available cohort and lock in founding member pricing before it closes.
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.
Yes. The course covers all four skills in an integrated way, but the Error Log system means your in-class focus naturally calibrates to your weakest areas over time.
