Author, IELTS Speaking & Writing Coach, Band 9.0 Speaking, First Attempt
Hi students! My name is Julius, and I'm the author of IELTSDragon. I'm a non-native English speaker who scored a Band 9.0 on the IELTS Speaking test on my first attempt.
I hold a degree in Communication Arts from Cebu Normal University, one of the Philippines' prestigious state universities, and I'm a licensed teacher and TESOL-certified. Over the years, I've taught English in a range of settings, including Business English to Japanese professionals at Nikkei while working for a UK-based company.
I built this website so you don't have to waste time and money retaking the exam. Every sample answer here comes from my experience as a Band 9.0 achiever and IELTS Speaking and Writing coach, written to sound conversational and natural, because that natural delivery is what gave me a crisp Band 9.0.
Use this site as part of your prep, and let's get you to your target band score.
