From ex-IELTS examiner James Castleden's YouTube channel IELTS Step-by-step comes a course dedicated to improving your grammar specific to the IELTS exam. We'll be looking at 26 common IELTS themes and 25 different areas of grammar, each of which includes a video, a context-setting task, at least 8 exercises as well as two full IELTS-style tasks that makes use of the vocabulary related to the theme as well as the grammatical area in question.

You'll also get a free PDF booklet with all the grammatical rules that will accompany you on your journey through this course. On top of that, you will have personalised feedback from me and other students when you submit your work to the IELTS Step-by-step Community page on Facebook.

So what are you waiting for? Get that 7+ in the IELTS that you deserve!

★★★★★ "Content was direct and satisfying, a nice overview concerning the English grammar topics. The presentation techniques in this course were also well. The tone of the tutor's voice and accent was clear, easy to understand throughout the course. IELTS oriented and topic related exercises were really helpful to understand the lessons. I would recommend it as a person who was already getting along with English language but looking for ways to improve one's language skills mainly in grammatical manner."—Murat


• ABOUT ME •

I have a masters degree in Applied Linguistics from the University of Leicester in the UK, and a Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults (DELTA) from Cambridge University. I've been teaching for over 20 years, the last 10 of which have been predominantly focussed on teaching the IELTS exam. When I was an IELTS examiner, I was fortunate to have access to important aspects of the exam that many teachers and candidates are not aware of — these I can reveal to you in my courses.
