I couldn’t thank Donn enough for her help in my IELTS speaking exam!
As a student who is always tongue-tied when speaking English, Donn provided a lot of tailor-made methods which tackle my weaknesses specifically. On top of that, she is always so supportive which definitely help me to overcome my fear!
Donn’s lessons are always so organised. With theoretical and practical session in every classes, I got lots of chance to practise. It is evident that my speaking markedly improved after the INTENSIVE IELTS SPEAKING CLASS, with me being able to speak with a wide range of sentence structures and idioms, compared with me only able to speak with simple grammar before I met Donn.
For those who are struggling with your IELTS speaking exam, I absolutely recommend Donn’s courses and I’m sure you will benefit from them.
Thank you so much! Donn!

Hi Donn! I couldn’t thanked you enough for your help! Your dedication and passion are really overflowing! I just took the test yesterday, and still waiting for my result but I believed I got my desired Band Score!
To her future students, if you’re looking for a TRUE INTENSIVE IELTS REVIEW specially in SPEAKING, her Lesson is a REAL DEAL!
You can get a score you need and guaranteed at least 7BS. But here’s the catch, you have to help yourself as well(you can get 8BS or higher if you do!)
I booked a couple package of her lessons for Speaking lesson (Intensive review and Mock test package) and it helped me developed my structure and Grammar range in a very limited time about 2weeks!
Her lesson and style will surely help you learn on how to think and answer the IELTS(esp in Speaking) regardless what type of question or topic are being asked!
from start til end smoothly you’ll ace your test smoothly and with flying colors!

Very straight to the point. After an IELTS mock test, the teacher gave me feedbacks which are very on to the point and helpful. I can see she is a devoted and experienced teacher. Her attitude towards understanding students were also very tender and approachable.
