IELTS Preparation Success Stories
Students who prepared with Daniel.
Daniel's IELTS prep was structured into four stages: lecture, essay, group discussion, and one-on-one personalised interviews, which developed every skill the exam demands. His approach contributed to my achieving an overall score of 7.0. I graduated from a UK university with first honours, and later earned a master's from KAIST with a GPA of 95.1/100.
