1) IH Schools are well known for their quality for Academic Courses - why do lessons at IH Newcastle are so unique?

At IH Newcastle, the IELTS Preparation Course gives equal attention to all four components of the exam: Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. No stone is left unturned, and students are equipped with the skills they need to approach the IELTS with confidence.

Lessons are dynamic, and by the end of the course, students are better able to produce a range of essays and reports based on graphs, maps, plans and diagrams, engage in discussions, improve their presentation skills, and develop their reading and listening comprehension of academic articles and topics.

In addition to 10 hours of in-class lessons per week, students can also access further support and exam practice through our Personal Study Programme, available to everyone. PSP offers students the opportunity to focus on specific skills and language areas, with teachers on hand to provide guidance and answer questions.

2) We had a lot of students achieving their desired score recently - what do you reckon is the main element they take away from classes that explains such success?

At IH Newcastle, students of varying English levels and IELTS score requirements have successfully passed the exam. The expertise of our teachers, who have a deep understanding of the IELTS marking criteria, combined with constant written and spoken feedback and exam-focused activities, are key factors behind our high success rate.
