Who it is for
Who this course is for
These four groups describe the people already on this course. If none of them quite fits you, that is fine — the consultation is there to say which course does.
Needing level 5 on file
Some postgraduate programmes and specialist posts set their requirement at the top of the framework.
Close but not across
Your result is near the target level, short in one or two skills, and you are not sure what to fix next.
Wanting to focus on writing
At level 5 the essay asks for a tight argument and precise vocabulary — the hardest thing to fix without a marker.
Fluent but not yet deep
You get through all three speaking parts without the range and ease that level 5 expects.
Outcomes
What you come away with
Not the syllabus listed a second time, but what is left once the course has finished.
A tighter argument in Task 2
Essays are reviewed at the level of claim and connection, not only for grammar and spelling.
Precise vocabulary, not merely varied
Telling near-synonyms apart and choosing the right shade — the clearest line between level 4 and level 5.
Speaking that expands without drifting
Topic development and follow-up questions practised at the length the paper actually expects.
Familiar with papers at your target level
03 mock tests across all four skills in the real timing, analysed after each attempt.
Syllabus
What you study
Everything the course covers, grouped. The order and the weight of each part are adjusted after each student's entry test.
Writing in depth
- Building a claim and a counter-claim in the Task 2 essay
- Connection between paragraphs and within them
- Marking down to the individual sentence and word choice
Speaking in depth
- Developing a topic in Part 3 and handling follow-up questions
- Intonation, rhythm and holding a turn naturally
- Pronunciation and grammar corrected as you speak
Listening and Reading at level 5
- Long talks with layered argument
- Academic passages and questions that call for inference
- Distractors and conflicting information
Exam-level practice
- Papers chosen around the skill that is still weak
- Working under the real timing
- Errors analysed straight after each attempt
How we teach
The six steps behind every Wobridge course
These six steps apply to every course we run, on every programme. What changes from course to course is how much weight each step carries — noted directly under the list.
Entry assessment
A test across all four skills before placement, so we know where a student stands and what is missing.
Learning path
The target broken into stages with checkpoints, rather than a single number waiting at the end of the course.
Practice
Every lesson includes work done in class; theory never occupies a lesson on its own.
Feedback
Writing and speaking marked against the assessment criteria of the exam being prepared, with each fault attached to a named criterion.
Progress tracking
Results are recorded skill by skill through the course, so it is visible which part is moving and which is not.
Mock test
A paper sat in the real format and to the real timings, then talked through afterwards.
