Jonathan has developed his own technique and strategy and I finally got my 7.0 for Writing after his class! Jonathan’s class is the cheapest I found on the market and the best I’ve experienced.

What students say
Darshini
I am a Singaporean and English is my 1st language. I thought it would be easy to pass my IELTS but I was wrong! I failed once and then found Jonathan’s classes. His notes and materials are so good. The techniques taught by him were so new to me and it is something you NEED to know if you are sitting for IELTS. After his class I passed my IELTS (7.5 overall) and was granted my Australian PR!
Jyoti
I would give a lot of credit to Jonathan for my 7.5 overall score in IELTS. His coaching was spot on and gave me the tips and tricks to approach the exam in the best possible manner. From the weekend classes to the preparatory material he gave me, I could see that I was getting better and better with my preparation through his continuous guidance. In the end, I could not believe that I achieved a good score in just one month. I would recommend him for everyone pursuing this test.
Soe Hein
Thanks to Jonathan’s class, which is highly effective, I scored 8.5. My previous score was 6.5 but I didn’t receive proper lessons then.The clear explanations, writing templates, and methods of improvement delivered during his classes were truly beneficial to me since I had only about 3 months to prepare for the test. I wouldn’t have achieved what I much needed if I hadn’t attended his classes. Thank you, Jonathan
Dmitriy
I took the exam a few times and failed before attending Jonathan’s IELTS classes. After Jonathan’s classes, my score exceeded my expectations and I passed with 7.0 (I only needed 6.0). The main reason is Jonathan’s clear and systematized IELTS class structure. Thank you Jonathan – this is going to change my life.
KK Gan
My friend Vitul improved his English level tremendously and introduced Jonathan to me because I was trying very hard to obtain 7.0 for IELTS. Straightaway after attending Jonathan’s classes, I managed to get 7.0 for all 4 components. This shows the effectiveness of Jonathan’s teaching. All in all, Jonathan is the best English teacher and I am fortunate to have been taught by him – as compared to the rest of the English language institutes that I have attended thus far.
Kairen
Thank you very much for the lessons Jonathan. I got an overall 7.5 – good enough for me to further my postgraduate programme.The 4 lessons are extremely concise and effective. The first lesson changed my perception. I didn’t know English can be so profound and precise.Fortunately within 4 lessons, you pinpointed and summarized the crucial parts that enable me tackle it precisely. Your methods are super effective in dealing with my IELTS exams given a short preparation time and busy schedule.
Eileen
I failed my IELTS twice and then I decided to take Jonathan’s class and it was ultimately the right decision. His lesson material is so organized and task oriented. He gave us templates for the writing tasks which are very useful and idiot-proof. True enough, after attending his lessons, I scored 7 in writing with just a single try! I would definitely recommend his class to anyone who has one goal in mind, which is to score well in IELTS.
Lilian
I was not able to clear the IELTS writing portion – I was always stuck at 6.5. After attending Jonathan’s classes, I took the exam and got 7.5 for writing and improved in almost every component. His lessons focused on what is expected from IELTS, knowing your mistakes and how to tackle these problems. Thanks to Jonathan that I passed the IELTS with flying colours which is more than my expectations.
Catherine
I did my 4-week course with Jonathan. It was the cheapest fee I could find and fits my schedule perfectly as I’m working. He was very patient in teaching us and his tips were really helpful, especially with the writing task since it was the most challenging part of the exam.I was targeting all 7 for Academic IELTS. I took the exam and the best part is that I was even able to get 7.5 overall. I can say that his course is highly recommended. Now I’d be able to take my course in Australia. Big thanks to you Jonathan!

PTE Writing (the most difficult PTE Component!)
- My Super-Ninja Essay Templates (see below). I’m so proud of this and my students absolutely love these templates. This is probably the most valuable set of notes in all of my classes – and my students’ secret weapon to doing well in their PTE & IELTS Writing. It’s an original creation by me and can’t be found anywhere else in the world. It took me hundreds of hours to create it and I’ve been improving it for the last 10 years.
- This is what one student said of my templates. He wrote: “The Essay Templates are simply incredible. After going through it and understanding it completely (takes time, but it’s well worth it!), I believe you when you said you put in hundreds of hours into it and it’s nothing like I’ve seen elsewhere – I’ve taken a few other classes before and nothing else comes close to the amount of detail your Writing teachings and Essay Templates have. Thank you Jonathan. I really believe it helped me to finally pass my exam after so many times!”
- My “SWAC Formula” that consists of 4 easy methods that you can use in your introduction and conclusion to paraphrase sentences and ideas. In addition, find out the one common mistake amateur students make in relation to paraphrasing and what can be done about it. (Hint: it relates to using “synonyms” carelessly.)
- One unique but simple strategy I’ve been teaching my students that has enabled them to practice their PTE & IELTS Writing in a stressful manner – and prepare for the PTE & IELTS Writing in a more consistent manner.
- A simple formula to ensure that you won’t write too few words or too many words for your PTE & IELTS Essay.
- A step-by-step detailed approach to writing every sentence in your essay – in the introduction, body and conclusion. Learn this and you will never be confused about what to write for each part of your PTE & IELTS essay. I’ve made it so easy that even a 7-year-old can follow!
My PTE & IELTS Essay Structure System
My PTE & IELTS Essay Templates (12 pages shown above – 50+ pages given in my PTE & IELTS Class)
PTE Speaking
- Clear and detailed steps to answering all the 5 PTE Speaking Question Tasks.
- Strategies, Templates & Phrases to help you with 2 of the most difficult PTE Speaking
- Understand generally how the PTE Algorithm (and any AI) works and how to give it what it wants so that you do well! It’s very common to hear even native English speakers performing badly in their PTE Speaking! That’s because the PTE AI is not perfect (although it’s getting better) and thus you need to give it what it wants.
PTE Reading
- Clear and detailed steps to answering all the 5 PTE Reading Question Tasks.
- How to really IMPROVE your Reading for PTE – and it doesn’t involve just doing mock (practice) tests over and over again. I’ve never seen this method taught elsewhere. It’s not easy to do this and it takes a lot of hard work, but the diligent students will see improvements in their Reading scores.
- How NOT to fall for common tricks employed by the writers of the PTE Reading exam.
- Understand how a good grasp of grammar can help you improve your Listening score.
PTE Listening
- Clear and detailed steps to answering all the 8 PTE Exam Listening Question Tasks.
- How to really IMPROVE your Listening for PTE – and it doesn’t involve just doing mock (practice) tests over and over again. I’ve never seen this method taught elsewhere. It’s not easy to do this and it takes a lot of hard work, but the diligent students will see improvements in their Listening scores.
- Understand the reason why second language English speakers can listen to a phrase or sentence over and over again yet not know what it means.
PTE Grammar & Vocabulary
- The 12 most common Grammar and Vocabulary PTE & IELTS mistakes that students make. This is a result of an in-depth analysis I conducted with hundreds of my PTE & IELTS students over a 5-year period.
- 2 seldom-taught High-Level Vocabulary Skills that, according to one student, helped him “understand English in a totally different way as compared to before.” I know of no other teacher that teaches these 2 important skills the way I do – with great detail and application to PTE/IELTS Writing (& Speaking).
- Why language rules for English are not fixed and how it can change. Understanding this will help you to understand how languages and English work – and will especially help you with your Grammar and Vocabulary for PTE & IELTS Writing (& Speaking).
- The most important, yet almost universally unappreciated, reason why every PTE & IELTS student should be using a good English dictionary when practicing their Writing. NO, the most important reason to use a dictionary for PTE & IELTS students is NOT because they don’t know the definitions of words! I also tell my students:
- What’s so bad about bilingual dictionaries.
- 1 powerful but little-known type of dictionary that will help you improve your English for PTE & IELTS (My students love this one and they start using it a lot even after my classes)
- Why 90% of all my students would write a WRONG sentence like “My father discourages me to migrate to America.” (Yes, you probably think there’s nothing wrong with the sentence and when I explain the mistake to you, I guarantee that you’ll start seeing and understanding English in a different way)
- Why the majority of students who read a lot in English never improve their Grammar and Writing. (If you’ve been told that reading will improve your English automatically, that’s only partly true. I demonstrate this in class and I’ll explain what you need to change in your reading in order to improve your English)
