E2 Test Prep IELTS review

E2 Test Prep, the IELTS brand of E2Language, is the strongest choice here for learners who want teachers in the loop. Every package, starting with Express, includes the full course with lessons, practice activities and live classes taught by what E2 calls its IELTS Band 9 expert teachers, and missed classes are kept in a recorded library. Express+ adds a mock test with feedback; E2 says the mock test was designed in partnership with IDP and IELTS. Bronze adds speaking and writing assessments and a tutorial, Silver adds more of both, and Gold is sold as a premium package. Bronze, Silver and Gold are backed by a money-back score guarantee. E2 says it has taught more than 2.7 million test takers and offers a free trial and a free sample live class. The catch for this list is price transparency: the page we fetched showed USD prices with local VAT added, so we marked the price pending rather than quote a figure that may differ for US buyers.
