The internet is full of resources for the speaking section of the IELTS exam. Some online resources are very good while others are inaccurate and misleading. Here is a collection of resources that I think are useful for IELTS speaking candidates.

One of the hardest things for students to do is find someone to give them GOOD speaking test practice. If you study with a friend or with a Skype speaking partner you can never know for sure if you are doing well or not. Speaking with a partner and doing practice tests is good but you may not improve very quickly.

I help my students prepare for the IELTS speaking exam by providing authentic practice speaking tests with valuable feedback. All of my online Skype lessons provide specific feedback that is sure to improve your score. I am so confident that my Skype Speaking Tests will improve your speaking test performance that I guarantee it!

There are a lot of books available online and in bookstores.  Sometimes it may be difficult to know which book is right for you.  That is why I have created this small list of books specifically for the IELTS speaking exam.
