"After years as an IELTS examiner, I built the coaching system I wish every candidate had"

Shane Edwards

Shane Edwards

Current IELTS examiner and course creator, helping thousands of students achieve their target band scores worldwide

For years, I’ve sat across the table from IELTS candidates, watching them hope to get a good score. As a current IELTS examiner, I’ve assessed students at every band level and seen the common mistakes that hold them back. I know exactly what examiners look for—and why so many talented candidates lose marks despite their hard work.

My journey began when I realized that most students weren’t failing because of a lack of effort, but because they didn’t have a clear, structured path to fix their unique weaknesses. That’s what inspired me to create a step-by-step preparation course, now with over 500 lessons and 60+ hours of content, designed to make the exam simple and show students exactly how to succeed in every section. Along the way, I’ve shared my insights on YouTube, reaching thousands more with practical strategies and real exam advice.

This app is everything I’ve learned as an examiner and coach. It starts with a test to pinpoint your weakest skills, then delivers daily, targeted practice and feedback—so you’re always working on what will help you improve. The system adapts to your progress, guiding you through a structured improvement plan for Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking, while also building your overall English ability.

My goal is simple: to help you reach your target band score as efficiently as possible, with the confidence that comes from knowing exactly what to do next. I hope this app gives you the clarity, structure, and support you need to achieve your IELTS goals—and opens the door to the opportunities you deserve.
