Samruddhi’s IELTS Case Study – From Fear to Band 7.0
Samruddhi came to Education Street via the referral of a friend who had strongly recommended us to her. She was initially very underconfident about taking the IELTS exam, especially due to her phobia of speaking, noting that she was a highly introverted person by nature.
However, she joined a small group batch that comprised only 4 students and started interacting within the group on a regular basis. Her regular and disciplined practice of actively participating in all the online sessions fetched her an impressive band of 7.0 overall, along with an impressive band of 7 in the Speaking section.
