Choose the next step you actually need.

Start free if you are still finding your route. Use the Diagnostic when you need to understand what is holding your performance back. Choose ongoing coaching when the evidence shows that structured teaching and practice are the right next step.

Four ways in.

Most people need one of these four. Everything further down the page is detail.

Start here if you are still planning

Build My Exam Roadmap

Know what your exam involves, what you need to learn and where to focus your study time. Your Roadmap uses the route, skills, target and timeframe you provide.

It does not diagnose a weakness you have not demonstrated.

A personalised planning tool, not a diagnosis

Diagnostic Session

Find the repeated pattern that is actually limiting your performance. Your selected activities are reviewed against the relevant exam requirements, discussed with you live and approved by your dedicated tutor.

60 minutes, online ·

No exam involved

Conversational English

For people who understand more English than they can comfortably say. Work on retrieval, clarity, confidence and realistic speaking situations without turning the session into an exam class.

60 minutes, one to one

When structured teaching is the right next step

English Exam Preparation

Focused coaching built around your exam route, target, evidence and available time. The teaching should address the problems that are actually limiting you rather than giving every learner the same lesson sequence.

Buying a Diagnostic does not commit you to a package. If the evidence shows you do not need more lessons, we will tell you that. It is a legitimate outcome and it happens.

Free Fit Call

15 minutes, free, no obligation. We confirm which test your route needs, roughly where you are, and which service actually fits. It ends with a recommendation, which may be that you don’t need me.

What it isn’t: not a lesson, no assessment, no sample test, and no advice on your specific score. That’s the Diagnostic.

Diagnostic Session

Diagnostic Session

A proper professional diagnosis, not a chat. 60 minutes, and you leave holding something.

What's included

£40

60 minutes, online · £40 credit against your first eligible package purchased within two working days

When one skill is the whole problem.

One skill, one preparation block, two separate 60 minute classes with a 20 minute Student Area practice block between them, and a written teaching summary

Rescue Session

You keep landing half a band, or a few points, below what you need. Same skill, every time. This session finds out why that particular skill will not move, fixes what is causing it, and decides what to do with the time you have left before your test.

This is the session for you if

What we do in the time

  • Read your score report properly, including the parts nobody explains
  • Find the actual cause of that one skill sticking, which is often not where the low number appears
  • Work directly on it, with your own writing or your own recorded speaking
  • Decide, if you have a result already, whether to remark, retake one skill, or sit again
  • Written summary the same day

£185

one preparation block, two separate 60 minute classes with a 20 minute Student Area practice block between them, and a written teaching summary. Available for IELTS, PTE Academic, TOEFL iBT and OET.
Your test date must be at least 4 days after the day you book.

Why the 4 day rule. Anything closer than four days and there is not enough runway to change an outcome. If your test is sooner than that, book the free Fit Call instead and we will be honest with you about what is realistically possible.

OET stays profession specific. Writing is reviewed against the Writing criteria, while Speaking is reviewed against separate linguistic and clinical communication criteria. Your profession and selected skills are confirmed before checkout.
Booking notice. The earliest slot available is 12 hours from the moment you book, for every service including the free Fit Call. Sessions are prepared beforehand, so nothing is offered sooner.
Not sure how many hours you need? Book the Diagnostic first and I will tell you honestly. If 5 hours will do it, I will not sell you 25.

One time by default. Automatic renewal only if you choose it.

Payment and renewal

A one time purchase is the default. Automatic renewal is a separate optional choice and must never be preselected. Before checkout you should see the product, hours, amount, renewal basis, next charge basis, cancellation route and included Student Area allowance. Stripe handles card details. Quick Talk Tutor does not store your full card details.

Student Area practice

A 5 hour package includes 60 minutes of practice over 4 weeks. A 10 hour package includes 120 minutes over 8 weeks. A 25 hour package includes 300 minutes over 12 weeks. Practice is used in 20 minute blocks, with no more than one new block in a rolling 24 hour period. Unused practice does not roll over.

Paying in instalments. Where an instalment option is available it is shown at checkout. Payments are handled securely through Stripe.

All payments are handled securely by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.

Where your classes happen

Live teaching normally uses Cal Video. Mainland China learners may use Tencent Meeting when arranged. Your booking confirmation provides the correct private joining link.

Book one package lesson at a time. A package lesson booking should say that you do not pay again for a lesson already covered by your teaching balance

How your classes happen

Live classes normally use Cal Video. For learners in Mainland China, Quick Talk Tutor may use Tencent Meeting where this has been arranged for reliable access. Learners in Japan and other countries normally use Cal Video unless another approved platform is specifically agreed. Your confirmed booking tells you which private joining link to use and gives any setup instructions.

Pricing questions

Do I need a Diagnostic before a package?

Not required, but recommended unless you already know exactly which skill and criterion is the problem. Starting a package without that means guessing what to work on.

Yes. If you purchase your first eligible package within two working days of your Diagnostic, the £40 is applied as a single use credit against it. It is a credit rather than a cash refund. Buying a Diagnostic still does not commit you to a package, and if the evidence shows you do not need more lessons we will tell you that.

The Diagnostic finds out what is wrong, across the whole picture, and gives you a plan. The Rescue Session assumes you already know which skill is the problem and spends one preparation block, two separate 60 minute classes with a 20 minute Student Area practice block between them, and a written teaching summary fixing that one thing, plus deciding what to do about your test date. If you are not sure which skill is holding you back, start with the Diagnostic.

Instalment options, where available, are shown at checkout. Payments are handled securely through Stripe.
