Inexplicably, I dreaded IELTS and always wished it away. I needed to further my studies and I had no choice. I still did not have a clue until I met Chris exactly 2 weeks to my test. I said that I will just try that one and book another test but he told me that I will pass the test and meet my cutoff–I did not believe him. He took me through his strategies and formulas and reassured me that I will pass. I became confident and indeed, I passed and met my cut-off. So much to say about this kind and gentle man–I will recommend him any day–he is the best.

I am delighted to say that in my very first attempt of the IELTS test, I excelled beautifully in spite of all my fears instilled from the experiences of others who failed it. Mr Chris was able to tutor, guide and encourage me, and in less than 2 months of meeting with him, I sat for and passed the test scoring 8.0.

Attaining my desired IELTS band score in order to further my studies was incredibly challenging as I did not know the right strategies and methods to use. However, upon meeting Mr Christian, his tips and formulas simplified everything in a short while and I scored an overall band 8.0. I'm grateful to God, and I appreciate him

I began to doubt my writing ability after taking the IELTS exams thrice and remarking twice. The negative results which I got repeatedly aggravated my inhibitions to write the test again. Then came a referral that changed the story. I had an encounter with Mr. Christian and was privy to his vast wealth of knowledge in written and oral English. Not only did he allay my fears, but he also ignited the ace up my sleeves. I was particularly fond of using his acronyms to put structure to my essays, especially the TSIC formula. The formulas always fuelled my imagination and creativity. A couple of lessons and reviewed papers, my resolve was heightened, and I was determined that the forthcoming exam was going to be the last. Fast forward to the thirteenth day after my exams; I was grinning with excitement as I relayed my scores to him. He said, ’I always knew you would do it’. I smiled because I knew that the vote of confidence was the spring of the successful output.

Christian not only understands the fundamentals of coaching and preparing students for excellent performance at the IELTS, but also has an innate ability to teach and transfer knowledge flawlessly. I found my moments of being coached and taught by him, in preparation for my IELTS, quite refreshing and a solid investment all-round. The proof they say, is in the pudding, and I wasn’t too surprised at my excellent grades, 8.0 band score, after taking the exam once. I have gone on to recommend him to many other friends whose experiences and outcomes have also not been different from mine. I am sure this publication would make an excellent guide for anyone seeking to ace the IELTS exams.

My success in IELTS would be incomplete without the tutorship of Mr Christian. Having written the examination 5 consecutive times with WRITING being the Achilles heel, I was graced to come in contact with his training programme. Upon my sixth attempt (which was the first training I had with him), I aced writing for the first time. Do not be carried away by your academic qualifications/merits as I had initially assumed that since I held a Master’s degree in English Studies, it would have been a piece of cake. Funnily enough, I was humbled after the struggle to attain the desired band, and I only realised later on that IELTS has its own precepts which MUST be observed. I wouldn't have known this if I wasn't trained! Rest assured that success in IELTS is guaranteed with Mr Christian’s formulas.

The Author is an intellectually diligent tutor with an extraordinary propensity to achieve success. His texts and resource materials has been simplified to ensure that even those who are less gifted intellectually can easily read, understand and comprehend. His IELTS materials are one of a kind as they always ensure the candidates mental preparedness for the examination. This in itself was of great advantage to me in achieving success–7.5. I highly recommend his IELTS related text, articles and publications and if need be his in-person tutorial to every aspiring IELTS candidate.

Mr Chris majorly helped me with my problem areas which were Reading and Writing. He gave me workable guidelines for skimming and scanning the paragraphs in reading which helped me to answer the questions within the time frame and to even have enough time to check for mistakes. He helped immensely with my writing skills. I didn’t realize how poor my writing was until I met Mr Chris. We started from scratch, and he was able to come up with simple and realistic steps tailored for me which enabled me to answer any of the IELTS writing essays or letter perfectly well!

Working with Christian was a meaningful investment as it guaranteed I successfully wrote my IELTS once and scored 8.0. The specific pronunciation to look out for in the listening and the proposed structures to adopt in the writing tests turned out to be extremely useful. His distinct approach to teaching these subjects and the quality of materials he provided were top notch, hence, highly recommended.
