Punctuation is often a challenging aspect of English grammar, largely because it’s not systematically covered in traditional coursebooks.

Many IELTS candidates, as well as teachers, rely on intuition or apply punctuation rules from Russian, leading to awkward mistakes. These errors can negatively affect their writing score.

Our intensive course is designed to sharpen your awareness of standard English punctuation. Through rigorous practice with targeted exercises and detailed analysis of real IELTS writing samples, we’ll identify common issues and provide quick, effective solutions. By the end of the 3rd training, you’ll write with clarity, precision, and confidence, avoiding punctuation errors that could hurt your score.
