Frequently Asked Questions


There is professional native English support for both writing and speaking in your ‘My Student Account’. You can get score estimates for free by sending us your writing and MP3 voice recording in email. 

In addition, you can get detailed feedback on your writing and live training for speaking. You can access these from either your free Demo Course or Premium Full Course. Both of these services are an extra cost, on-demand (editing 6 cents US/word, private speaking interview with feedback 25USD/30minutes session). These are an extra cost for the following reasons:

  1. It takes extra work time for professionals who work for no less than 18 USD/hours, as this is a minimum for such jobs in the west.
  2. The number of editing and speaking help varies for different students, so it makes sense to do this on-demand.
  3. Not all students can afford this service, so we make it optional to keep down the cost of our Premium Full Course.

(Other IELTS sites that include this in their initial fee, either charge much more for their package OR give poor service)

There is simply no way to get professional help, that truly helps, for writing and speaking on a small budget, since any real IELTS expert requires respectable pay. I hope this is clear and you understand the utility and logic behind these services. I definitely suggest trying both editing and speaking, and you will see the difference. I have attached a sample of our editing work for your review. Good studies.

Yes, we offer help for General IELTS.

In fact, we are one of the only companies in the world that make a distinction between the two versions clearly.

To practice General IELTS and improve your scores please visit www.gieltshelp.com/full-course

General IELTS is needed mostly for immigration purposes – if you are planning to move to a country and seek residence, like Canada, UK, and Australia, this is the IELTS you need to take.

Usually, you need a minimum band score of 5.5. We can help you prepare for the General IELTS exam at www.gieltshelp.com

The Academic IELTS is needed mostly for schools, such as university and college – If you are planning to study in another country, this is the IELTS version you need. Usually, you need a minimum band score of 6.5. We can help you prepare for this at www.aehelp.com

***If you know where you want to apply, it is very important that you check with the institution what version of IELTS they require and what are the score requirements***

We can help improve your writing with professional editing services found in your My Student Account at www.aehelp.com.

You can just pay for Task 1 and 2 editing services.

This is 6 cents US per word, so 150-word Task 1 is 9 USD. This is a pay-on-demand service and you can access it from your My Student Account at www.aehelp.com, just click the Task 1 and Task 2 green buttons.

You can choose an essay from the list or copy/paste your own. You will get the edited essay back with corrections, feedback on how to improve, and an estimated band score, in 48 hours or less.

You will get a fully interactive course (100 hours), six downloadable full IELTS practice tests (PDF) including full audio (Mp3) for listening, reading, and speaking. Additionally, you receive the IELTS Student Workbook, full of exercises to help you improve your skills. Also, you can access 100+ hours of exclusive HD lesson videos, as well as dozens of Live IELTS class recordings. In addition, you have a student forum to ask questions and join discussions. The course includes a 30 and 60-day lesson plan which describes the steps to take for improvement.

All writing at AEHelp.com is edited by a native English speaking university graduate in Canada. The editing is a pay-on-demand service because it needs extra man-hours and payment. Not all students ask for this or can afford this, as well, different students need it in different amounts, so we make this optional. It is not included in the package. We keep our course price down and charge a very competitive editing rate for those students who want it and can afford it at 6 cents US/word ($0.06/wrd.). See the edited work (attached) and we are sure you will agree with us about the value and usefulness of such feedback.

You can submit essays in your ‘My Student Page’ in ‘Full Course’, ‘Bonus Writing Section’, ‘Additional Services’ -> ‘Editing Services’ or use the ‘Task 1’ and ‘Task 2’ buttons on the upper left of the page. Once we have your work and payment we will return your edited work with comments in 48 hours or less.
