My Official Band 9 Score & TRF for Verification

Matt, instructor for the Ultimate IELTS English Speaking Course, in Sydney Australia
Your instructor, Matt, a native Australian English speaker, in his hometown of Sydney.

Hi, I'm Matt from SpeakPrac. When I was asked to prove my English proficiency for a job, I scored a perfect Band 9 in IELTS Speaking (including Band 9 in Fluency, Pronunciation, Vocabulary, and Grammar). Instead of taking the position, I decided to build SpeakPrac to help ambitious professionals and students (like you) achieve their goals.

I'm not a natural talker — I'm actually an introvert. But having aced the test myself, I know exactly what it takes to succeed. This course is packed with the proven strategies and insights that helped me become a Band 9 Speaker.

My philosophy: Anyone Can Speak English.

I've studied at top English-speaking universities (UNSW & USYD in Australia, UCL in UK) and taught English worldwide. I also worked with American language expert Gabriel Wyner, bestselling author of "Fluent Forever." This course represents my attempt to create the best IELTS Speaking guide on the internet.

It's entirely free. I believe in making high-quality fundamentals accessible to everyone, only charging for advanced tools like the SpeakPrac app and specialized flashcard decks that accelerate learning.

Below are all the lessons, each with an in-depth video plus written content with action checklists and screenshots.
