- Reach the band your application actually requires
How the programme is structured
Stage 1: Diagnostic
Full assessment across all four modules to find your starting band.
Stage 2: Letter writing
The Task 1 letter in all three registers: the single biggest difference from Academic.
Stage 3: Reading strategy
Notices, adverts and workplace documents, which trip up candidates who trained on academic texts.
Stage 4: Timed practice
Full papers under exam conditions with feedback after each.
Frequently asked questions
It depends entirely on the immigration programme or employer. Check the official requirement first. We will build the plan around that number.
The reading is more everyday, but the writing is not easier: the letter task has its own conventions that cost marks if you improvise.
Most candidates do. Evening and weekend slots are available, and we set the pace around your schedule.

How it runs
1-to-1 or group of 3–5: taught live, never pre-recorded, with sessions recorded afterwards so students can revisit anything they missed. Timings are arranged around school and time zones, and we reschedule when exams or travel get in the way.
Learning Bubble teaches online to students across Pakistan, Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, as well as the Gulf, the UK and North America. You will need a laptop or tablet with a working camera and a reasonably stable connection. If a course requires any materials at home, we send the list before the first session.
