This course is full of practice questions and examples and contains detailed explanations with full breakdown of strategies. I invite you to view the course curriculum to see what you will learn inside.

This course is divided into 3 main parts. Think of it like cooking your favorite meal. First, you need the ingredients — so in Part 1, I will show you the four ingredients that you need to write a rock solid essay. Next, in Part 2, you will learn our secret recipe and strategies for writing the essay step-by-step for all the different question types. And finally, in Part 3, I will show you how to combine the ingredients and the recipe and put it all together into a unified whole.

Upon completing all 3 parts of this course, you will feel confident in writing a powerful Task 1 essay that will allow you to get a high score and pursue your goals of working or studying in English-speaking countries.
