An 8-week sprint built around your target band.

IELTS is graded by humans on four criteria per skill. You don't need more textbooks. You need a small group, a modern dashboard, and scored feedback on every piece of writing and speaking you produce.

Is IELTS Program for you?

We're upfront about who this works for, and who it doesn't.

For You

This is you if:

  • You're at Band 5.5 to 6.5 and need 7.0+ for visa, university admission, or professional registration.
  • You want more than an IELTS score: you want your English to reach C1 level through a structured program.
  • You want active learning, writing it yourself and getting teacher feedback, not passively watching grammar and writing lectures.
  • Your test date is within the next 3 to 4 months and you want a structured program with a real teacher, not another textbook.
  • You want a small group, three live classes a week, and feedback that comes back fast so you can actually use it.

Not sure where your band sits today? The diagnostic is free, takes about 25 minutes, and tells you exactly where you land per skill.

Take the diagnostic

How a week runs.

Three live classes a week with Lora Teacher, daily exercises that get graded right away, and a full mock every weekend. Everything sits in one dashboard, so you never juggle PDFs or chase feedback.

Weekend~2h 45m (full IELTS timing)

Full mock test

Every weekend is a full IELTS mock under real timing. Weeks 1 and 5 to 8 are scored on fresh papers. Weeks 2 to 4 are unscored retakes of Week 1 so you can measure movement against your baseline.

What you'll learn, week by week.

Each week has one focused live class theme, and daily exercises rotate across all four IELTS skills: writing, reading, listening, and speaking, plus academic vocab and pronunciation. Weeks 1 and 2 (Foundation) lock down the exam format and the core essay frames. Weeks 3 to 5 (Skill Development) push the harder Task 1 and Task 2 subtypes. Weeks 6 and 7 (Integration) put everything under real exam timing. Week 8 (Peak) is the Band 6 to 7 polish.
