I want to ask for help if anyone knows a good language school or a private teacher in London. My daughter is a doctor, she recently came to the UK. In order to legalize your diploma and start working, an IELTS exam is required (this has been introduced recently) with a grade of at least 7.5 points. We read the ads on the Internet, all courses and schools are the best, number one, first class ... We have already tried several, but the benefit of all these expensive schools is almost zero. So please, if anyone has taken this exam, share your experience.

Did you check with the British Council? Maybe they will give you guidance.
Check out the colleges - there you can get such a certificate of English speaking. They have IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge and others. Cambridge's, unlike the others, has no statute of limitations and is lifelong.
Learning, reading and communication with other English speakers. The lessons are good, but when it comes to personal lessons, not those in which you are with a group of 12 people.
If your daughter's level is low, she can't take it with a high grade. What level is it at? If it has at least B2, it can build on what it has achieved in a few months. Schools abroad are expensive and not very effective. Better, instead of squandering money on schools, switch to self-training. There are so many good English textbooks, let her buy for the last 2 levels -C1 and C2, and start working on them on her own - doing the exercises inside, learning the new words. You can download a lot of textbooks and online, as well as test books. Also, let's negotiate the grammar. To buy a good grammar and negotiate all the time, as well as everything that is difficult in the language. She can arrange with a teacher to check her work from time to time or to conduct dialogues with him, to correct her speech, but for 1-2 hours a week. If the girl is motivated, she will succeed. Good luck!
7. 5 of IELTS is a VERY serious requirement. By comparison, 99% of universities in England require 6. 5. A few years ago, when I applied for a university, I earned 8. 0, provided that I took 4-5 years of courses and studied it intensively. In order to get a high IELTS score (above 7.0), you need a good knowledge of the language and a person who has studied it for years. It is not easy at all, but good luck!
Thanks to everyone who responded to my post. I hope your ideas will be useful to other doctors working in the UK. From BG my daughter came with General IELTS, 6.5 points. / as he explained to me, this is level B2 with which you can apply to a university, but they do not allow you to work as a doctor /. Here he appears twice at Academic IELTS, so far he has achieved results of 6.5 points, which is the same level B2. / To work, you need level C1, minimum 7.5 points. /
Haahaaa wow I have been learning English for 12 years, I study in a private school and even in kindergarten I knew how to read in English, the alphabet, numbers up to 10,000, animals, a lot of things and to this day besides private, I go to additional private lessons in language and I took IELTS with 6. 0, as I was 1 year of study in England, so the chance of your daughter taking it with 7. 5 is almost zero if there was no benefit from schools and plus with this assessment people take it who have a parent with a native English language or have lived for many years in an English-speaking country.
