As a former IELTS examiner for the British Council in Shanghai, I’ve assessed *1000+ speaking tests* and *5000+ writing tasks*. My precision in marking helps students *spot weaknesses* and *boost scores fast*—whether you’re aiming for Band 7 or beyond! Outside teaching, I direct *UK Schools Consultancy*, guiding families on international education—but my true passion is *unlocking students’ potential* through English.

Very professional. the class was 99.99% the same as a formal exam, the 0.01% left for the fact that we all know it's not a formal test. highly recommend to book a mock exam here before formal test.

Jimbo is a profession IELTS examiner. I could learn what is wrong with my speaking in IELTS speaking test. Every time I have a lesson he estimates and gives me a score. His mock test is similar to A REAL TEST. Highly recommended just before taking IELTS.
