To improve your IELTS Listening Score, practise the Listening exam using these tips:
1. Listen without the script and only listen once
2. Listen without the script but listen twice
3. Listen first without the questions to get a general idea and then answer when you listen for the second time, now with the questions
4. Listen once and answer and then listen again with the script

Student Feedback
What do students think about the IELTS Workshops at MC Academy?
“I found the Reading Club and Writing Club with Rahila very effective. They have improved my skills a lot.”
“I am Sattam, a student with teacher Mrs Rahila Tauqeer. The class focuses on IELTS skills and how you raise your score on it. I found out a lot of new vocabulary in class which we used in writing or speaking. The teacher always fixes our speaking or writing immediately [and] that help us as students to improve our English. She conveys knowledge with better skill and results and she loves her subject matter from her heart.”
“Teacher Rahila loves her job and she has a passion for teaching. She is self-confident [and] she believes in her own ability and knowledge. She is always on time and she explains to us very well. Also, she corrects what I say immediately. I love her class [and] I learned from her a lot of IELTS secrets.”
