- Variety - to keep you interested (and awake!) 
- Writing practice - to put all you have learned into practice
- Corrections on your writings from an experienced IELTS teacher (me!) 
- Someone to ask all your burning questions (also me!) 
- Specific vocabulary and grammar that is guaranteed to be useful, no matter what IELTS throws at you
- Quick Quizzes - to activate your new knowledge
- Assignments to hone your skills
