I often receive emails like this: "Hey Shelly. I have just started my IELTS preparation. I wanted to know if you could mark an essay a say for me to help me find my mistakes". Guess what my answer always is? No! Find out why in today's episode! You can read more about today's episodes at http://blog.myieltsclassroom.com/ielts-essay-correction-service/

Episode notes

Paying for an essay correction service can be a great part of your preparation for the IELTS writing exam, but marking should NOT be used as a teaching tool. In fact, it is one of the least effective way to learn IELTS writing skills. Instead, it should be the final stage of your preparation i.e. what you do at the very end to be 100% sure that you are ready to sit the exam and get your desired score.

In this episode, we will

  1. explain when you should introduce marking to your IELTS preparation 
  2. describe the three reasons why people need marking 
  3. tell you what the right amount of marking is (and it is a lot less than you think)
  4. explain how you can tell a great essay correction service from a terrible one
