Hi guys, I've finally passed my IELTS test with a 7 in writing! It's been a long journey for me that started in September 2018. On my first attempt, I got decent but nonetheless disappointing results and the lowest was in writing - 6.5. I studied hard for the next 9 months until I attempted the test for the fourth time in June 2019. I thank you, Brown Cow English, I would not make it without your support and knowledge. You have helped me to keep up with the preparation. We practiced writing a lot, I think I've written at more than 100 essays and a couple of dozen letters and had them checked by you. I focused on articles, modals verbs, tenses and punctuation especially. Besides that, the speaking practice was beneficial and helped me understand the structure of the speaking part and how to organize myself in saying what should be done within a set time. So, after all of this, the scores of speaking and writing have jumped up by half a band: W/7 and S/8. Guys keep up the hard work. All the best!

I passed my CAE with quite an impressive score, and I should say it happened due to the professionalism and commitment of Brown Cow English. We accomplished a great deal of speaking part tasks and learned some practical methods which certainly worked. Moreover, my writings were rectified regularly, and gradually, I began to express myself with more natural language. Not only are the lessons with Brown Cow English of great use but also they are extremely entertaining as well. I strongly recommend Brown Cow English, their standards of teaching live up to expectations. Thank you guys!

I would like to express my gratitude for Brown Cow English school, where I have spent a lot of time studying from November 2013 to the present. First of all, it was a luck to be a student of such amazing teacher, who was also very flexible in time and helpful with different life situations. In fact, each lesson with Brown Cow English was not like a boring lesson with strict teacher as it used to be before, but it was a friendly conversation with cool guy, who helped me to boost my knowledge of the English language, to work with my accuracy in writing and to feel myself free while speaking with him. It is true to say, that corrections during the learning process was not irritating or rude, but was comfortable, fun and natural. In addition to this, corrections to my writing were completed in a very useful manner - bold phrases or underlined word endings showed me my weaknesses and was clearly recognisable. Overall, wonderful personality of teachers in connection with dense knowledge in language and comfortable way of studying English anytime and anywhere via Skype will have a remarkable effect on your relationship with learning English.

I always wanted to speak English well. I used to study English in an English school in Moscow. I had to go there after work. I had many grammar lessons, but I didn’t have enough speaking. So then I had to finish my study there because I spent a lot time on my way and I didn’t get enough practice of speaking. The I realized that I can study English online with a native. My friend told me about Brown Cow English. I have learnt there for 3 months. I’m very happy. I can speak with my teacher wherever and anytime. Thank you Brown Cow English.

I am an IT guy. I tried to improve my English by courses. As I understood later it was a wasting of money and (more importantly) time. The crucial moment was getting a job in Microsoft - foreign company with tens thousands employee. Then I realized that I still needed to improve my English. And not just common English but conversational English. My new colleagues advised me to learn English with native by (to save money) remotely. I tried Brown Cow English and have never regretted. Communicating with native. That is the key to success.

I work in the oil and gas sector. I use English at work on a daily basis. English is my second foreign language that is why it was a really a big challenge for me to succeed in IELTS examination. I had heard about learning English on Skype and its advantages from my wife who also studied with Brown Cow English. At the time I needed my IELTS to be at least 6.5. I started my lessons with Brown Cow English school, after 3-4 months I managed pass my IELTS. Finally, I have got my IELTS grade I needed. Thanks to Brown Cow English school.

I prepared for my CPE exam with Brown Cow English for three months. During our lessons we were mostly preparing for the speaking part of the exam. Besides this, my teacher used to check my writing tasks on the regular basis as well. Brown Cow English rocks! My teacher was very friendly, helpful and considerate as a teacher. Every single lesson was a pure pleasure. Skype English is something else. Learning on a new level. I would recommend to all – has to be tried to be believed. Thank you Brown Cow English!

Great lessons by intensive individualised online English teaching. My teacher was very, very interesting and funny, there's always a theme you can talk about without a feeling of dreary theoretical lessons - although you learn grammar and vocabulary! You can ask questions anytime - you get an explanation with many examples. Very useful is the medium of Skype for English because you get it additional in written form, can do homework if you want and get the right pronunciation.

Hello, my name is Natalie. Listen to me here. I’m 31 years old and I am an English teacher (listen to me here). I am from the United Kingdom and I am a native English speaker. I live in Holland and I sometimes teach here but I like to work online more as I think it is more fun and I get to meet lots of people every day from different places.
I have taught English mostly in Asia; Cambodia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. I also worked for a Chinese family in Malaysia where I taught English to the employees which was a great learning experience for me because it taught me a lot about different customs and cultures.
I really like to make my English lessons fun and interactive especially with children as I know they enjoy that style of teaching. I love teaching and hope that my passion for teaching and learning can be transferred to the students so that they enjoy it too.
