Welcome to IELTS Focus.

Free IELTS lessons to help you hit your target score.

This website contains free essay model answers, tips, and strategies to help you hit band 7+.

Hi, I’m Ray, and I own a small English school in Kyushu, Japan called London Language Lounge. I have been teaching IELTS since 2009, and I founded the IELTS Focus blog in 2016 to help my students hit their target score in the IELTS exam. I also have an online writing correction service and one to one IELTS speaking sessions online. I am currently teaching IELTS at Kumamoto University in Japan to prepare students for the upcoming IELTS exam.

Many students are completely misinformed or confused about IELTS so the aim of this website is to clear up confusion and show you clearly what you need to do to get a Band 7 or more.

Check out the testimonials page for my students reviews.
