Booking your lessons
Booking your lessons is easy, simply log into your myClass account using a browser at https://myclass.britishcouncil.org or download the 'British Council myClass' app on your phone.
Steps for booking lessons via web or app:
- Select your centre as 'Malaysia Virtual'.
- Choose any available IELTS lesson and click 'Book'.
- You can book your lessons in any order.
- To take part in the lesson, click 'Join now' and you will be redirected to enter your class through Zoom.
NOTE:
Please note that we strongly recommend that you take lesson marked 'Practice Test' after having taken at least five different lessons for that skill (Reading, Speaking, Listening, Writing), or towards the end of your course. Practice test lessons resemble the real IELTS test - you will be asked to work independently, and the teacher will only offer feedback and support once the allocated time has passed. This is a good opportunity to see where you're at versus your IELTS target score, but it is best to try this after taking a few regular lessons first.
Taking part in a lesson
- You will need Zoom installed on your desktop. Download it here.
- If you join via Zoom app on your phone, you will not have access to certain features, e.g. files shared via chat.
- A second device, e.g. a tablet, a phone, or an additional monitor might be handy, especially for reading and writing exercises, but is not necessary.
- Have a pen and paper ready and choose a quiet place or us noise cancelling headphones.
