Every new technique or grammar point is introduced as a clear concept (why it matters), followed by multiple real-world examples and then short guided practice.

Students move from abstract rules to usable skill quickly — they understand instead of just memorizing.

• Introduces the concept visually (diagrams/mini whiteboard writeups).
• Shows 3–4 solved examples from real IELTS prompts (simple → complex).
• Highlights examiner expectations and common traps for that concept.
• Assigns a 5-minute "apply now" task in class so the idea is immediately practiced.

Students can attend physically or join live online; recordings and materials are synced for both modes.

Flexibility without losing engagement — remote students get the same level of interaction as in-class attendees.

• Small batch sizes for both modes (ensures participation).
• Real-time polling, shared annotation on slides, live chat monitored by an assistant.
• In-person students do paired drills; online students are placed into breakout rooms with specific timed tasks.
• All sessions are recorded, indexed, and linked to the exact pages of the course notes.

Short, guided speaking drills every day — cue-card practice, fluency drills, pronunciation micro-tasks.

Speaking improves fastest with frequent short practice and immediate feedback, not occasional long sessions.

• 10–20 minute speaking warmups at the start of each class: one student does a timed cue card; peers score using a simple rubric.
• Sourav provides time-stamped corrective feedback: exact phrases to fix, pronunciation drills, and 2–3 replacement sentences.
• Weekly recorded speaking mock where each student receives a written action plan (3 things to improve).

Live, step-by-step solving of real questions in class — teacher narrates thought process and students replicate it.

Students learn how to think like an examiner and how to plan answers under time pressure.

• For each practice question, Sourav models the whole process: read → paraphrase → plan → answer → review.
• He verbalises the internal checklist (time checkpoints, linkers, band clues).
• Students follow on their devices and submit their version; Sourav selects a few to annotate and improve live.

Regularly scheduled slots dedicated solely to resolving student doubts — conceptual, test-taking, or material-related.

Frequent access to clarification prevents small confusions from becoming entrenched errors.

• Two formats: open Q&A (any student) and focused micro-clinic (pre-submitted questions).
• Quick diagnostics: Sourav asks targeted diagnostic questions to pinpoint misunderstanding, then prescribes 1–2 corrective drills.
• Common doubts are compiled into a living FAQ that the class can access.

Each week students receive a short, data-driven report of performance and a concrete action plan for the next week.

Tracking progress quantitatively shows where time should be invested — it makes study efficient.

• Weekly mini-tests produce a snapshot (Listening %, Reading %, Writing rubric scores, Speaking band estimate).
• Sourav reviews patterns (e.g., "losing marks in Task 1 data comparison", or "hesitation in follow-up questions") and prescribes an improvement plan: 3 target drills, 2 readings, 1 timed mock.
• Mentor meets student for 10 minutes weekly to review progress against the plan.

Each student's speaking and writing work is evaluated individually with timestamped feedback, model corrections, and a clear path to raise bands.

Generic feedback is useless; students need exact corrections and examples to learn.

• Writing: every submitted essay gets an annotated copy (focus on task response, cohesion, lexical range, grammar) plus a "rewrite checklist" — 5 specific edits to make.
• Speaking: audio is time-stamped; Sourav marks pronunciation slips, filler overuse, and suggests alternate expressions to improve coherence and lexical resource.
• Follow-up proof: students resubmit an edited version; Sourav checks improvements and assigns a mini-task to target remaining gaps.

Every student maintains a personal error log (mistake → correction → practice record).

Repetition without reflection cements errors; logging + revisiting breaks the cycle.

• Post-test: students log mistakes with category tags (vocab, time, comprehension, grammar).
• Weekly review: mentor ensures each tag has associated corrective drills completed.

Full timed mocks under exam-like conditions followed by a detailed group debrief and one-to-one scoring review.

Simulations expose time management and stress issues; debriefs turn mistakes into lessons.

• Uses real past papers and created tests that mimic current difficulty and trends.
• Group debrief: common pitfalls are discussed and model answers shown.
• One-to-one: individual band prediction and 3 targeted exercises for the next week.

Bite-sized 5–10 minute lessons (audio/video/text) for quick daily practice — perfect for commutes.

Micro-learning leverages spaced repetition and keeps momentum.

• Each micro-lesson targets one micro-skill (linker usage, paraphrasing pattern, pronunciation drill).
• Linked to weekly plan so students know when to use them.

Explicit rules for time allocation, when to skip, how to handle unknown accents, and last-minute checks.

Even high-level English fails without effective time and stress management.

• Timed walkthroughs showing exactly how to spend each minute in Reading and Writing.
• Live demos of "triage" methods for difficult passages.
• Pre-exam checklist and psychological tips to reduce anxiety.

Structured peer feedback sessions where students critique each other under teacher supervision.

Teaching others reinforces your own understanding; plus students learn to judge band criteria.

• Guided rubrics are provided so peer feedback is constructive and aligned with band descriptors.
• Rotating roles: speaker, reviewer, recorder — everyone practices both giving and receiving feedback.

LMS with indexed recordings, practice assignments, auto-graded quizzes, and error logs.

Easy access and tracking increase study discipline and efficiency.

• All materials, homework, and feedback live on the LMS with deadlines and reminders.
• Auto-grading for Objective practice; manual grading for writing/speaking with timestamped feedback.

Regular check-ins, small wins recognition, and targeted encouragement to maintain momentum.

Consistent effort over weeks beats last-minute cramming.

• Weekly milestone tracking and reward badges (e.g., "Vocabulary Master", "Mock Topper").
• Mentor calls for students falling behind; customised catch-up plans to get them back on track.

Every module ends with explicit goals (e.g., "Write a 250-word Task 2 with band-7 structure and 5 target vocab items").

Students know exactly what success looks like and can self-assess.

• Checklists and rubrics for every module.
• Module sign-off: student must demonstrate target competency before moving on.
