We understand how daunting the IELTS test can be.

It is a high-stakes examination and your performance in it will determine the future course of your life, whether you plan to study or work abroad or simply want the qualification to boost your CV.

As a service to IELTS candidates, Beacon English now offer online practice IELTS speaking tests, conducted by trained and experienced IELTS professionals.

Our tests are modelled as close to the actual IELTS Speaking test as possible in terms of topics and questioning, giving you a clear idea of what to expect and the chance to rehearse your performance for the test itself.

For the low price of $19USD we will provide:

– A full IELTS-style test conducted over Skype with a highly-experienced IELTS professional

– An indication of your band in each of the four assessed categories (Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy and Pronunciation) using the public IELTS descriptors

– Immediate verbal feedback including Q+A on Skype after the test

– Detailed written feedback by email on how to improve your score in each category.

Currently we are offering this service priced in USD only but will introduce payment in local currencies shortly.

Payment is through PayPal and we offer a full money-back no-quibble guarantee if you do not think we have provided you with a good service.

Please note:

Any scores given are only an indication of your likely performance and should not be taken in and of themselves as the score you will get on the day. Your actual IELTS score can be influenced by all kinds of factors.

We can, however, offer expert advice on how to maximise your chance of success.

Please also note that the public descriptors are available for all candidates online here and the more you know about them the better- for you as a candidate and for us as your instructors.

Any good teacher will wish to share with you the criteria by which you are being assessed- if you don't know what you need to do, how will you ever improve?

We are very happy to give highly-tailored feedback for each candidate and to make sure we use language the candidate will understand- particularly at lower-level bands.

We will shortly offer more payment options for this service. In the meantime, if you are interested then please fill in the form on this page. We will then provide you with the PayPal email address for payment and to arrange a suitable time for your practice test.
