Last Minute English creates online video courses to help you improve your spoken and written English, with a particular focus on English exams like the IELTS, TOEIC, and Duolingo. We also help you reach advanced level English with specialist courses on Grammar, Vocabulary, Fluency and more.


I'm a qualified IELTS Examiner. I previously lived in China (9 years) and Colombia (2 years), and now live in Manchester, UK. My experience and my passion is helping students to get high scores in their IELTS exam. I believe that understanding is the key to success in the IELTS exam, so my IELTS courses teach:
