This Is THE Solution To The Biggest Problem That You Face in YOUR IELTS – How To REALLY FOCUS on what YOU need to DO to GET the BAND that you WANT.

This Is The FIRST Strategy YOU NEED to LEARN – And Now YOU can get that in this training course.

ONCE you know WHAT you need to DO and HOW to do this then you are ON YOUR WAY to SUCCESS at IELTS

 

Dear IELTS Student

 Are you making the right progress with your IELTS? , Or is IELTS holding you back from achieving what you really want to achieve – a bright future?

There’s a good chance that you have a great dream for your future, great career and a new life for you and your family. But there is one hurdle that is stopping you from achieving your dream and that is the IELTS exam. It is like a barrier in front of you and you know that all you need to do is cross this barrier to move to your future career and life.

I am sure that you feel frustrated by this block to your dreams and want to find a way to get over it and move forwards. Even if you are positive about your IELTS study, you know from friends and colleagues that it may take some time before you get the result that you want and this puts your whole future ‘on hold’. Far from enjoying the improved quality of life you hoped for, you find yourself caught in an endless cycle of study and exam and although I am sure that you are making progress it isn’t happening fast enough for you and sometimes it is just one part that seems to escape you every time you take the test.

I have seen this scenario over and over again, IELTS students caught in the trap of study-exam, study exam for months and months and sometimes for years and years! All the students I met really worked hard, they had huge libraries of books, they read blogs and scoured websites every day. I’m sure you are like this too. You work really hard and you are dedicated and determined to succeed but somehow it just doesn’t happen.

And do you know why?

 Focus

You see, learning English is about perfecting skills and the more exposure to the language you get and the more practice you get the better you will be. IELTS is about applying your knowledge of English to certain tasks.

Your exposure to English will be different to someone else’s. You may have only been able to practise listening and reading well and not writing and speaking, or maybe your speaking and writing are great but you find difficulty with the listening. Does this sound familiar?

I want you to know that what you are experiencing with YOUR IELTS is not unusual. These differences in skill are completely understandable and all to do with how you were exposed to English throughout your education and life.

I also know what it’s like when you’re working as hard as you possibly can on the areas that you feel are not as developed only to find that the next time you take the exam you drop a mark in another area.

 

I understand the frustration you feel when you’re doing all you can and giving all you’ve got and yet it’s still not coming together.

 

I also know about the terrible worry when you simply can’t study any more hours – and yet you still feel that you haven’t done enough.

 

And the first thing I want to say to you is that ALL those problems can disappear, for good, when you get focused on exactly what it is YOU need to do to get everything to come together for the results that you want. I know from experience that the only way you can do this is to focus on YOU and YOUR IELTS needs.

 

 Your turning point

The first thing I want to say to you is ‘it’s not really you’. For years I have worked with IELTS students who wondered what was wrong, why despite all the hard work and effort they STILL weren’t getting the results they craved. 

‘You’ve been preparing in a way that just won’t give you the result you want’

 

You see, the BIG problem is that instead of being able to focus on what YOU need personally to get the result you want, you are reading and studying generic information that is aimed at everybody. It makes no difference whether you are looking for band 2 or band 9 – when you’re looking at general advice and information there is a finite limit on how relevant it all is to YOU, and therefore how much progress you will make.

So it really doesn’t matter how many books you buy, how much advice you get, unless this is focused on you and your IELTS you’re playing a game that is hard to win.

 

But there IS an answer….

Some people will tell you that the answer is to ‘improve your score’ yourself by completing tests and your average will increase. And they’re right – to a point – this can work for listening and speaking (if you actually DO a lot of speaking). But when you’re doing test after test not only is it very dull and soul destroying, it is also limiting you in terms of vocabulary and your English level.

I’m sure that you realise that out of all the tests you do, not all of them show a steady progress in terms of the score. You may be up and down and this does not really tell you anything much about your level or predicted performance in the actual test. There’s a good chance you’ve already tried most of the tests and materials that you have and now you don’t know what to do next. It’s like a catch-22 – the more you do the less you feel you are progressing.

 

There IS ‘another way’

 

There is another way to move towards the band that you desire, and move to the next level while enjoying what you are doing and feeling more challenged by the work that you do.

There IS an answer to the never-ending hunt for the band you want – and it is to design your IELTS preparation so that you are focusing on the key things that will help YOU to improve YOUR skills and YOUR performance in English for the IELTS exam.

Here’s the answer: less is more. Once you realise that if you focus on working on the areas of skill that you need to improve your overall performance in a really BIG way, you can see tangible improvements in your results.

What would YOU prefer? To keep working alone with the uncertainty about whether you are on track for the IELTS score you want? Or to work with great support and help from someone who can give you clarity about YOU need to do to change the situation you are in now with IELTS? In both situations you’re moving towards the same IELTS goal – but it takes a whole lot more effort and time to do it alone and you may not even get there – that’s the risk.

And, when you’re working with great support – you can REALLY focus on the things that will make a difference to your IELTS preparation and your performance. So this is the best way to set yourself up to get the result you want.

And of course that doesn’t mean that you won’t be doing any work, there is still a lot of work to cover, but that your focus will be on the top 20% of things that you really need to learn and practise and not the 80% of things that are simply for everybody.

And let me make it REALLY clear – this isn’t just about handing the responsibility over to a teacher – it’s about raising YOUR game – and YOUR practice in English with personal support that will guide and drive you to perform at a much higher level than you are doing now.

So once you’ve got the guidance to know WHAT you need to do – the next challenge will be DOING IT! And with the support that you will get – you’ll be excited about doing it:

Do you have these questions?

The good news!

 

The good news is that I know the answers to ALL of these questions. You see, many students have these questions too and with the experience all our IELTS trainers have you can get the answers to all of your questions, challenges and doubts and we can show you step-by-step what YOU need to do.

My experience working with many, many IELTS students has shown me all the areas that can cause concerns and because I have been teaching English for over 30 years I know exactly how you can solve all these things

And my experience of being an IELTS examiner has also given me knowledge about what examiners are looking for in order to give higher bands.

This combination of great experience in IELTS means that I have the means to really help you to move forward and get to the band score that you want.

 

And what will you get?

You’ll get real clarity on where you are now with every part of your IELTS.

You’ll get daily, focused practice to develop all your skills monitored by a hand-picked IELTS trainer on email and on Skype. Your teacher will be checking in every day to see how you are getting on and will also arrange regular Skype lessons with you.

 

And how will it all work for you?

 

You will be focusing on specific areas in each part of the IELTS

You will explore the specific things that you are struggling with and you will get all the support you need to address these.

You will get detailed practice in writing and speaking – this will be directed towards the band that you want.

You will finally have a strategy for your preparation that will keep you on track and provide everything you need to do to get band 7or 8 in your IELTS.

Make no mistake, the content I am sharing with you here is the NUMBER ONE way to focus your practice and preparation on the areas that YOU need and on the things that work to get you the higher band that you really want.

There’s no need to over-complicate this. You make sure you cover all the challenges and concentrate on the areas that YOU need to improve to ensure that all parts of the test are coming together at the same level.

You can only do this if you KNOW what YOU need to improve and if you get the support to make sure that YOU are addressing these areas AND making sure that you don’t neglect anything else.

And you will see the differences as they happen

The good news is it won’t take you anywhere near the time and mistakes it will take you if you try to master this alone.

That’s because I have carefully chosen the content to make sure that YOU are working at band 7 level and even beyond. After all, this is not the sort of advice and expertise that is available ‘anywhere’. Nor should it be.

 

But it is worth every penny – and the results speak for themselves:

 

Students like MohamedI discovered Berni’s blog by chance while I was desperately looking for any help to pass my IELTS. I find nothing is better than simple words, so I like to thank Berni since she used to support me and succeeded in reviving my self-confidence after I stumbled 3 times in ielts writing and speaking.  Really, I was rotating in the same track, I believe Berni is really professional in picking up concealed mistakes for everyone and she can tailor a system which matches every individual.She didn’t hesitate to offer her service at any time and does her best to animate her students.  She is really courteous, generous to everyone.  I presume all what u need is your patience because surprisingly she is more keen than you are to push you up towards higher skies Final words; trust your tutor and keep enthusiasm.Mohamed is now pursuing is career as a doctor in Australia

And VinuHello Everyone,This is Vinu. I am a Paediatrician from India who struggled with the IELTS exam for 1 year with numerous attempts without knowing why my academic English writing was not good enough to get a band 7. In the month of March 2011, I found a website namely WIZIQ which was quite useful as I attended lessons by various teachers in academic writing. But, still I was not quite sure about what mistakes I was doing. Finally, I attended a class of Bernie in WIZIQ which was titled breakthrough in IELTS.Then we started doing one-one teaching through Skype. She taught me how to approach the exam. We did classes for 5 weeks, in the first week itself I could make out that I was deviating from the topic that prevented me from getting the required band score of 7.Guys, the first and foremost thing is you should believe in God. You have to realize that it is not an easy exam if you have not used English for communication in day to day practice. After that, you have to work hard as well as practice what you have learnt and moreover, there should be a teacher available who can correct your essays and suggest improvements which is really the most essential one in your preparation. Finally, be confident and perform well on your exam day.I have cleared the exams (with band 7 in all) and am moving forward in my career.

Dear Berni,I have a good news to tell you .Last week I got through my IELTS with,Listening-7, writing-7, reading-7.5 & speaking-7.5.Your Gapfillers site, webinars and other tips were very helpful for me.So I must thank you for all the support you’ve provided.But still I like to keep in touch with your Gapfillers site as it is very importantfor our language build-up.Thank you so………. much.Nalika.

Dear Berni,It’s my pleasure to share my good news with you. This is to let you know that I just got the result of my IELTS that I took in September. I got 7 in reading and writing, 7,5 in listening and 8 in speaking. Overall is 7,5. I need at least 7 in each part so I now have what I need.I am taking the chance to thank you for your support and care. I am also going to continue practicing your site and Gapfillers as I feel it is wonderful and definitely will help me improve my English.Yes Berni, I loved the Gapfillers site as it is, in my opinion, worth every single penny. Yes I am using Ielts Step By Step more, as it is really helpful for the preparation for the exam but I am also enjoying the authentic materials on Gapfillers, in particular the listening and reading ones. I am sure that I am going to continue using it in my little free time that I have with my busy working schedule as a doctor. The materials are not only of high standard for advanced level of English but also really enjoyable. I have reached a stage that I enjoy reading and listening in English and my objectives definitely don’t stop with my success in IELTS.Love and blessIman

I’ve just received my IELTS results. I took the exam on October 26th and here are my results:Listening: 7.0 Reading: 7.0 Writing: 7.0 Speaking: 7.5I’m really happy with my score (mainly on writing and speaking)!It required a lot of hard work but as they say “hard work pays off”!I’d like to really thank Berni for her support!This course is really helpful if you are looking for a band 7 or higher. It covers all the areas (listening, reading, writing and speaking) in depth and offers you a lot of material to study. This journey is not easy and requires determination and discipline, but step-by-step course also helps with these.With the help of Berni and her course, I was able to get 7 in all the skills (and 7.5 in speaking) in my first attempt!

Now I want to put this IELTS training into YOUR hands

 

You’ll learn ALL my best techniques and strategies for approaching each part of the exam

This is the ONLY programme available that walks you PERSONALLY through EXACTLY how to:

	Refine your listening skills and use the time before you hear to really maximise your listening ability in the test
	Learn new strategies that will help you to find the answers to the questions faster and be confident that you have the right ones
	ANALYSE essay titles in DETAIL, BRAINSTORM ideas AND PLAN so that it actually helps you write the essay FASTER – then you have time for checking
	Work on PRACTICAL exercises that help you to IMPROVE FLUENCY, MAKE SURE you are really giving good answers and ORGANISE YOUR THOUGHTS to deliver the language level you need for band 7

This training is designed specifically for IELTS students who want band 7 or 8, and who are ready to step up and do whatever it takes to get the results they desire – to make getting the IELTS exam a reality soon, in order to move in to a new future.

Here’s just a sampling of what is covered IN DETAIL

Listening:

Really work on your skills so that you can hear the detail in what you listen to. Focus on skills and stamina so that you can concentrate for longer and not miss anything. Make sure that you use the preparation time before the tape plays to predict possible answers and choose key words. The strategies you will learn will help you with this.

Reading:

Look at strategies that will increase the speed at which you work with the questions. Look at the kinds of key words that you need to identify in the questions – these may surprise you! Practice different strategies for the different types of question and make sure that you use your time in the reading test really effectively.
 

Speaking:

Learn how to make sure you hit the ground running when you do the speaking. You need to make sure you use the whole opportunity of the test to demonstrate your language and you need to prepare and practice well for this. My strategies will help you to do this.

Writing:

Get out of your comfort zone with writing and try new things! You need to experiment with language and vocabulary to get a high band. You have to have good flexibility with language and be able to use lots of different types of structure to make your writing interesting and also convince the examiner of your ideas. You need to know what it ‘feels’ like to write at band 7 and 8 then you will never go backwards!

 

Success will come from doing the OPPOSITE of what you are doing now! You will have more focus and that means no more ‘headless chicken” but a firm strategy for YOUR practice and YOUR result!

 

 

We’ll cover:

• Which areas of your English you need to target – and why by focusing on this you will greatly increase your chances of a higher band score.
• Why your current strategies and preparation aren’t getting you the results you want and how you can change these to be more successful.
• How to understand what it is you should and shouldn’t do to get the success at IELTS that you really want.
