The pathway

One pathway. Four stages.
Join at yours.

Every stage runs as a small group of 6 students or fewer, paired, or one-to-one. Each term is 15 days, about 30 hours: two hours of live instruction per session, plus personalised practice on your own device between classes. The placement scan below tells you where to start.

Foundation

Pre-A2 to A2

The 500 words and core patterns everything else is built on, with guided speaking from lesson one.

Intermediate

B1, IELTS 4.5 to 5.5

Break the plateau: collocations, opinion language, and the jump from understanding English to using it.

Upper-Intermediate

B2, IELTS 5.5 to 6.5

Academic vocabulary, precision, and exam technique. This is university-gate territory.

Advanced

C1+, IELTS 7.0 to 8+

Band 7 and beyond: task response, hedging language, and retrieval speed under exam pressure.

Who it is for

Two reasons students come to us.
Both get a real method.

Nearly everyone who studies here arrives for one of two reasons. The honest part: the work looks similar either way, because a good band and genuinely good English come from the same place.

"I have a test to take."

You are sitting IELTS soon, usually within the next 12 weeks to a year, for university admission, a visa, or work. We work backward from your target band and your test date, with focused practice across all four skills, real exam technique, and honest progress checks, so test day holds no surprises.

"I just want better English."

You are not chasing a certificate. You want to genuinely improve your listening, reading, writing, and speaking. IELTS is simply the most efficient way there: it forces balanced progress across every skill instead of letting your strong ones cover for your weak ones. Many of these students sit the test in the end anyway, once they see how close they are.

Cambridge English materials

Taught from Cambridge, not homemade photocopies.

We teach from Cambridge's published course books, the same internationally benchmarked series used in accredited programs worldwide, then drill the gaps between lessons with the games we build in-house.

Common questions

IELTS in Bangkok, answered.

How much does IELTS prep in Bangkok cost at GrammarMetric?

Fees depend on the format you choose, small group, paired, or one-to-one, and on how many sessions a week you take. Book a free demo class and you will get exact pricing for the format that fits you, with no obligation.

What IELTS band can I expect to reach?

That depends on your starting level and how much you practise between lessons, so we do not promise a band. What we do is set a target with you from a real placement check, then track your scores from the first session to the end of term so progress is a number you can look at rather than a feeling.

Can I join IELTS classes online from outside Bangkok?

Yes. You can take the course fully online, or in hybrid mode where you join the live in-person lesson from home and follow it on your own device at the same moment as the students in the room.

How long is an IELTS term?

A term is 15 days, roughly 30 hours: two hours of live group instruction per session plus personalised practice on your own device between classes.
