I would like to thank Mandi for being my English teacher and preparing me for my IELTS exam. I haven't practice English for almost 10 years and began my classes in a rather bad shape. I only had a month and a half to improve it the best I could and get at least 6.0 in each part of the exam. Mandi was a highly-qualified and professional trainer, she checked my current level and gave me a lot of work at the classes and lots of homework to choose from. After a month and half I had my IELTS test and got much better results, than I thought I would get. I thank Mandi for pushing me forward in the right direction and giving me an opportunity to reach my goals and even more. It was a pleasure working with Mandi and one2one academy. Continue to succeed 💪

One2one Academy, we exclusively offer one-to-one instruction tailored to each student’s individual needs and learning pace.
Classes
Whilst most academies focus on group classes, we exclusively offer one-to-one instruction tailored to each student’s individual needs and learning pace. This personalised approach enables our tutors to address specific strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring that each lesson is highly effective and tailored to the student’s needs.
WhatsApp
There are many platforms available for online learning, including Zoom, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and others. After experimenting with different options, we have found that WhatsApp best suits our teaching style. We primarily use WhatsApp because it automatically stores all chat messages, including lesson notes, homework assignments, and shared resources. Having this permanent record is extremely valuable for both students and tutors, as it enables easy reference to previous content, tracking of progress, and revisiting of important materials at any time.
One2one – Rules
We believe in keeping our rules simple and straightforward, focusing only on what is necessary to ensure a positive learning experience for everyone. We have just a few important guidelines, all of which are designed to be fair and respectful to both students and tutors.
Important
Punctuality is important. Please make sure to join your class on time. If you are running late, we will wait for up to fifteen minutes after the scheduled start time. After that, we will have to move on to the next scheduled class out of respect for other students’ time and our tutors’ schedules. Missed classes due to lateness will not be rescheduled or refunded. If you need to cancel or reschedule a class, please notify us at least twenty-four hours in advance. Any cancellations or requests to reschedule made less than twenty-four hours before the class will unfortunately be considered too late and the session will be counted as taken. This policy helps us manage our schedule and provide equal opportunities to all students.
Exam Pack
Each pack of classes comes with an expiry date, clearly stated at the time of purchase. This ensures that we can efficiently prepare lesson materials, allocate time for homework, and plan our schedule in advance. It also helps us manage our capacity and welcome new students into the program. If your class pack expires before all sessions are used, any remaining bookings will be cancelled and the time slots will be made available to other students. We encourage you to keep track of your expiry date and schedule your classes accordingly so you can make the most of your lessons.
Our website features a regularly updated blog where you can find a wide range of valuable resources, including previously published homework assignments, study tips, and free learning materials. We encourage you to visit the blog frequently, as we continually add new content to support your learning outside of class. By checking in regularly, you’ll have access to useful materials that can help you reinforce what you’ve learned and stay motivated on your educational journey.
One2one – Homework
Homework assignments will be posted regularly in our social media groups. We encourage all students to follow these groups to stay up to date with the latest tasks and announcements. Our approach includes providing live corrections and feedback during or after class, helping you quickly identify areas for improvement. Whenever possible, we also share model answers, so you can compare your work and gain a clearer understanding of what is expected. This combination of real-time feedback and example solutions supports your progress and helps you achieve your learning goals efficiently.
Balance
No two students are the same, and we recognise that everyone has unique learning needs and goals. However, as a general guideline, we recommend taking two classes per week to maintain steady progress. In addition to your lessons, it’s important to dedicate at least two extra hours each week to independent study, such as reviewing class notes, completing homework, and practising new skills. This balance of structured instruction and self-directed learning will help you maximise the benefits of your studies and achieve your personal objectives.
One2one – Teachers
Our teaching team comprises two fully qualified language instructors, each with over a decade of professional experience, dating back to 2011. Both instructors are originally from Central London and speak with clear, neutral British accents, making their speech easy to understand for learners from around the world. Their extensive teaching backgrounds ensure lessons are engaging and effective, while their empathetic and encouraging communication style helps students feel comfortable and confident. This focus on clarity and support not only makes learning enjoyable but also provides students with an excellent model for accurate pronunciation and natural spoken English.
One2one – Achieving band 7 and beyond
Achieving good scores in exams is not like buying something from a supermarket shelf. You will need hard work, consistency and commitment. You should start with a study plan and work on areas where you are not strong; it’s easy to focus on what you’re good at.
AI
AI operates based on algorithms and large data sets, which means it can often provide helpful suggestions or general feedback. However, the guidance you receive from AI tools may not always match the precise standards or expectations set by official exam boards. Automated feedback can overlook nuances in your responses and may not reflect the specific marking criteria used in real assessments. Additionally, AI cannot recreate the realistic time constraints, stress, and focus required during actual exam conditions. Practising under simulated exam situations with a qualified instructor offers the most reliable preparation for achieving your target scores.
How to buy a pack of classes
To purchase a ten-pack of classes, please visit our website. Here is the link. When booking your classes, you will be shown class availability in your own time zone, so you do not need to convert the time. Choose your instructor and complete your booking.
Many consider seven a lucky number, but passing the IELTS exam requires skill.
While seven is often associated with luck, achieving a band seven requires skill. To reach a band seven, you should aim for a band eight.
Seven – Elements
The exam consists of four key elements: speaking, reading, writing, and listening. These elements are interconnected, and understanding this connection will prepare you to book your exam.
How many classes do I need?
That’s one of the million-dollar questions. As teachers, we can only assess that once we truly understand your level and needs. While this doesn’t directly answer your question, it’s essential to recognise that learning the strategies to pass this test and achieve the grade you desire is not as simple as going to a supermarket and buying something off the shelf.
Average
The average student takes two classes per week and needs to invest an additional 2 hours of private study time each week. This is based on our average student statistics for One2One Academy.
Seven – Commitment
An essential aspect of achieving your desired results is ensuring you have enough time, free from distractions. This commitment is crucial for success.
Resourses
There is a wealth of information available, especially on social media. This can often become confusing and overwhelming for students. Determining what is relevant and what is not can be a job in itself.
We only use original testing resources, which, to an extent, can save the student time. This is not unique by any means, but much of our original material is exclusive to us.
Podcast

Calendar
We have a simple booking system that operates in your time zone, allowing you to schedule your classes at your convenience. There is no need to spend time converting time zones.
You can create a free account, sign in and even change your class times.
