How our online classrooms work
You can study IELTS Coach flexibly online.
Our online classes are just like standard face-to-face classes – you will study the same content and complete the same tasks, but you will communicate via a videoconferencing platform. You will be provided with a link to join the class, and the teacher will admit students when the class is ready to start.
Throughout the lesson, you can communicate with your teacher and classmates using the chat and raise hand functions. For group activities, your teacher will create an online breakout space and will join each group to observe and give feedback.
You will be able to manage your class schedule in the usual way via our online booking system (OBS).
