[@norsk2910]

I must be honest with you: I reckon you're such a great teacher; please, never give up. I've recently discovered your channel and I think it's brilliant.

[@sakshiwahi2025]

I miss prepping up for my IELTS test with you Keith!!! I scored an 8.5 in speaking and a band 8 overall and it was ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! I still keep coming back to your videos even after 2 years of giving my IELTS exam just because your videos are so fun to learn from! Thank you for helping so many of us ❤

[@nitishralhan8169]

What a nice human being you are !🥰 Thanks for the video sir

[@EnglishSpeakingSuccess]

So nice of you

[@Nilzjdg]

I got 8 in speaking thanks to your videos. Thank you Keith! ❤️

[@surindersingh4772]

May you help me?

[@10AlMamun]

Unbelievable ! What did you say?, Band 8 scores in IELTS which I can't even imagine such a lovely score will I get or not though I am trying to get a handsome score near that. To be honest it's a great mind blowing score and the true fact is that u are a nice alien ❤️ 😂.

[@damariskimanzi2479]

Great teacher, I got eight in speaking.

[@abhisaini395]

As I noticed in your speaking... You speak as a real conversation without using any high range of vocabulary and it's very beneficial for understanding .. each and every word of your speaking is understandable ..that is the only thing due to this I like ur videos and prefer to listen only your sessions ☺️☺️

[@johnmarkdereal8576]

Connectors on how to give opinion: 1. Basic Connectors: Well, I suppose, I guess, I reckon 2. Longer Phrases: Well, to be honest, I think; Between you and me, I think; Well it could be that; 3. Two different ideas: I've got mixed feelings about this, I suppose...... but then again... ; I'm in two minds about this, I suppose...... but on the other hand.... (*chop up, mix up, and mash up) 4. To begin with: First of all (Well, to be honest, first of all); Well, for starters; 5. Another(complex)ways of saying 'I think':I was mulling this over recently and I think; I've been thinking about this quite a lot recently and I think; The way I see it;What I reckon is 6. Giving general opinions: By and large, (I think); Overall; Generally speaking 7. Another way of expressing two opposing opinions: At first glance/site, ......., mind you/that said (it could be...).... 8. Summarising opinions: All in all, I'd say (yes); Overall; All said and done; At the end of the day, I'd say (yes); Yes, we might as well.. (*remember you can mash it up)

[@arzygulagayeva9953]

I got 7.5 speaking score just listening your videos. Thank you so much dear teacher🤗

[@EnglishSpeakingSuccess]

That's great - well done!

[@Katy.98]

Got my results last Friday: Band Eight. Did not at all expect this Band because I really perceived my Speaking Parts pants. But the lovely lady I talked to decided to give me 7.5 nevertheless. Got 9 in hearing (which is faaaar better than in practicing) and 8.5 in reading (never really practiced this part to be honest). My tip: Do not drive yourself crazy. It will work out better than you might think.

[@Jordan-yq9fu]

Then how will i drive?

[@maricarabucayon8539]

Hi Sir Keith @EnglishSpeakingSuccess just got my IELTS academic result. I took the exam last July 25. I was able to achieved my desired OBS and I am very surprised with my speaking BS 😍Thank you so much Sir you're a blessing ❤️ God bless you more ❤️ (L7, R7, W6, S8 OBS7)

[@EnglishSpeakingSuccess]

Pleased to hear that - thanks for letting me know

[@urjaverma7661]

very nice tips Keith! I prepared speaking part of IELTS by listening to the audio of ONLY your videos everyday while commuting, I got 8 bands in speaking! I thank you for all the tips...!!

[@madjid4332]

Hi dear Keith, I passed IELTS and these are my new scores: S 6.5, L 6.0, R 7.0, W 6.5, overall 6.5. Maybe these scores are below my expectations, I mean my expectation from myself is higher, but there’s no doubt your courses helped me to improve my previous scores to these new ones. Now, with this new score I can apply for university, because I’ve got the minimum score they need for admission. Now without stress of exam, I can follow your courses and continue to study English with you to improve my language and deepen my knowledge. At the end, I’m so grateful and thank you for your help and inspiration. I love you. Take care 💙🌹🙏

Hi Keith. There's no word to describe how grateful I am to you and to the effort you put in making these helpful videos. I almost watched alI of your content and didn't regret. I took my exam last July 9 here in the Philippines and got the result in July 24. I would've not reached my target band if it wasn't for you. I'm glad that I found you here on YT, it's like, I've found the sun out of the million stars. I'd definitely recommend you sir! Keep safe and God Bless! Well, here's my exam questions: P1- Work/Running P2- Describe a journey where there was a delay P3- Transportation/Travel..

[@audybash]

Normally when i want to see your lessons I give it thumb up first and them continue to watch it, ultimately the result will be amazing!!! Thank you for sharing these valuable ideas

[@englishtherapy7251]

For starters, it’s a chance to watch vedioes from keith. I reckon he is a blessing for all English learning students. To be honest, I like the way he teaches. By and large, this is the world of keith Academy. All in all, I have been mulling over how he prepares such a quality content for the learners.

[@maingocle3210]

[@jensenayangwa336]

I will be taking my IELTS academic exam this month and honestly, I need to manage my anxiety especially when talking in front of an actual examiner. I am quite skeptic with my fluency and knowledge, but then I still pray that I can surpass all this. Thank you Adam for all your inputs and tips and will definetely apply them on my exam day. God bless you always and continue to inspire and be a blessing to others.

[@ХафизаХалилова-м2л]

What I reckon is it's very very exsellent lesson I've thinking about whenever I belive I'll meet you...if i met you one day I would say"I love you , to be exact your lessons and your voice"

At the end of the day, you are the best English Speaking Teacher I reckon, you teach us very clearly and simply which is quite easy to understand but on the other hand, we must do practice to get excellence in this.

[@mariapaz1544]

first of all, i want to say thank you for all your videos. they're really useful to us especially that you specified and gave examples on how to incorporate them in daily conversations. sometimes i just read lectures saying we have to use connectors to boost our fluency but we're not so sure if, when we use them, do they sounds natural? or awkward? but to be honest, in your lectures, you dissect them one by one and now, we know how to use them.
