Success Stories from Former IELTS Students

At 3D ACADEMY, we measure our success not just by numbers—but by the dreams realized through IELTS.

Every year, dozens of our students achieve the band scores they need to unlock life-changing opportunities: getting into foreign universities, qualifying for migration programs, or landing international jobs. Here are just a few stories that inspire us—and may inspire you too.

Linh from Vietnam: From 5.5 to 7.0 in 12 Weeks

Linh came to 3D ACADEMY with a clear goal: to study in Australia. But her initial IELTS score of 5.5 wasn’t enough. She chose the IELTS One-on-One Course to focus intensively on her weaknesses—especially writing and speaking.

Thanks to personalized daily feedback, mock tests, and regular teacher consultations, Linh gradually improved her confidence and performance. After 12 weeks, she scored an overall Band 7.0, with a 7.5 in speaking.

She is now studying Business Administration at a university in Sydney and often sends us updates and gratitude.

“At 3D, I didn’t just learn English—I learned how to believe in myself.”

Lucas from Brazil: From Working Holiday to Migration

Lucas had already lived in Australia on a working holiday visa and wanted to apply for permanent residency. To do that, he needed at least Band 6.0 in all sections of the IELTS.

He enrolled in the IELTS Preparation Course, appreciating the mix of general ESL and IELTS classes. With the help of his instructors and the supportive environment, he was able to push his reading and writing scores from 5.0 to 6.5 in just 8 weeks.

Lucas is now back in Australia, working full-time in the IT sector and preparing his permanent residency documents.

“3D gave me the tools, and the confidence, to start a new chapter in life.”

Yuki from Japan: A Late Start, But a Big Win

At age 38, Yuki was one of the oldest students in her IELTS class. She had never studied abroad before and was nervous about returning to student life.

She joined the IELTS Specialized Course to challenge herself in all four test sections. The group discussions and test simulations helped her quickly get used to the IELTS environment, while her one-on-one teachers coached her through grammar and logic in writing.

After 16 weeks of study, Yuki achieved a Band 7.5 and fulfilled her dream of entering a nursing program in New Zealand.

“It’s never too late. 3D made me feel like I belonged—and that I could succeed.”

These are just a few examples among hundreds. Our IELTS students come from all walks of life, from different countries, and with different stories—but they all share one thing: determination. At 3D ACADEMY, we provide the right environment and support to turn that determination into real results.
