Who it suits

Candidates who need a broad English course rather than a single test-prep drill. The writing lectures are long-form, so this suits learners with time to practise, while those aiming for a timed verbal paper may need a shorter, exam-focused course alongside it. Plan time for the long-form writing lectures, which take the most effort.
