Description
Social media has brought me into contact with thousands of IELTS candidates and teachers. This experience has given me a better understanding of common problems and key misunderstandings about the test. The book helps to dispel the myths about IELTS that keep people stuck at band 6 and 6.5, and also shows you how to study and practise, so you can finally make progress and get the score you need in any part of the test.

I read this book several times. I find it really helpful to get a clear idea of what IELTS exactly requires and what band descriptors really mean. A lot of valuable information here I cannot gain elsewhere. Kudos to Pauline. She is the single IELTS authority in my view.

hey Pauline i am going to appear in general training IELTS, could you provide me an assistance and how i can attend your classes…
Pauline
Hello, I don’t offer classes at the moment. The best you can do is start with my free book (the download is on this page). It shows you how to study for the test. Also look through all of the blog posts here and the photos on my Facebook page.

I am a recent English language graduate and I have started giving IELTS lessons at a cultural center in my country a few weeks ago. I have to say that this book is unbeliavable. It has helped me a lot as it contains practical tips for improving my students’ progress. Thank you for making this book available for everybody who is interested in IELTS and for giving us many useful tips!
Pauline
I’m glad you’re finding it useful, Magdalena.

The book is simple enough for intermediate or above students to understand and apply the tips. I am so eager for the upcoming Workbook. I am ready to pay for the book to support the author Pauline.

When is the Key to IELTS Writing Workbook coming?
Pauline
When I have finished writing it I will be able to give an estimate on publishing dates.

My eyes were closed, do not know how to learn English due to, most likely, our education system, but now i am convinced, after learning from your precious advice, that i need to take preparation from authentic materials, and now i am doing this. Other than thanking, and wishing you the best luck i have not many other words to express my gratitude. The Almighty God may give you long life.
Pauline
I wish you all the best of luck, Nazmul. Make sure to read the book more than once and really work hard at applying the advice to your study and practice. Work on all of your skills, not just the ones you think are a problem.

This book is extremely useful. Thank you very much for sharing it for free. I am looking forward to your books about writing practice.

A great and informative book that could help us teachers guide our students and make the path to an IELTS band score clearer for them. Dear Pauline, we are waiting for the “workbook” on writing!
Ashish Saini
This book is simply phenomenal, which cleared all my doubts. I have realised what I have doing wrong. Thank you so much Pauline. I could not wait for your next book on IELTS Writing.
Pauline
Thank you! I’m really pleased you found it helpful, Ashish

Thanks, Olivia!

I’m an IELTS teacher and this book is helping me to clarify a lot of issues related to teaching IELTS to students. There’s a huge amount of information in this book, a lot of it very technical, and so I would recommend this book to all IELTS teachers, so that they can develop a deeper understanding of what students need to do in order to get the band score they need. Thanks Pauline.
Pauline
Thanks, Charles, that’s really nice to hear.

‘Strongly recommended. Amazing effort put in by the author. A step by step guide that helps you climb the ladder to success. I came to know what I was actually doing wrong in all those previous attempts. I enjoyed reading the e-book as it seemed as if the author saw right through me, picking all the shortcomings and forcing me to correct them. I also read Cambridge Vocabulary for IELTS. It was extremely helpful. I bought the Cullen IELTS vocab app, it was very useful. One thing that I should admit is I bought the 8+ one and I was aware that I should have completed the 7+ one first ( yes, now and then I tried taking short cuts,but no, not a good idea…)
Finally, I got my IELTS results on the 11th of November – I improved my reading from 6.5 to 7.5, previously I always ran short of time, on the exam day I completed the reading section ten minutes ahead. I also improved my writing from 6.5 to 7. Finally I will be sitting for the PLAB exam. Once again, a very big thank you PAULINE CULLEN! Stay blessed. You are doing a marvellous job’
