It is my pleasure to offer my unreserved recommendation for Robert as an IELTS expert. I had the chance to have known Robert personally a few years back , and when I seeked his expertise in IELTS prepartions, he was the right choice. From day 1 he managed to shed light on the main skills and attributes required in order to achieve higher band score. He provided essential material that turned out to be very useful. His reviews regarding my writing tasks trials were thourough and his predictions of my level were accurate. We also had several one-on-one skype sessions to simulate the speaking part of the exam and his remarks were very helpful. I managed to score band 8 in my IELTS exam thanks to his cooperation and expertise. I highly recommend Robert to any candidate intending to sit the test.
