Watch the Course.
Then Practise Daily.
The IELTS Course by Munzereen Shahid on 10 Minute School is the best-known IELTS course in Bangladesh, and deservedly so — clear Bangla instruction from an Oxford-educated teacher with a Band 8.5. What a recorded course cannot do is mark your Task 2 essay tonight or tell you which reading question type is costing you marks. That is the half IELTSbiz adds.
The short answer
The 10 Minute School IELTS course and IELTSbiz solve different halves of the same problem, and pairing them beats choosing. The course is the better teacher: 50+ video lectures in Bangla covering Academic and General Training, lecture sheets, a book and live doubt-solving for a one-off fee of about ৳5,000 as of 2026 — if the test is new to you, start there. IELTSbiz is the better practice engine: unlimited AI-generated reading passages instead of roughly ten fixed mocks, a named trap on every wrong answer, and an estimated band tracked per question type. All four papers are free within an allowance with no card; Pro is $6.99/mo or $29 lifetime.
- The course teaches the test in Bangla; IELTSbiz marks and measures what you then produce.
- Its ~10 mock tests are a fortnight of study — IELTSbiz material is generated fresh each session.
- IELTSbiz tracks a band for each of the 11 reading question types, not one band per mock.
- Free within an allowance on every paper, no card; Pro costs a fraction of a full course fee.
- IELTSbiz is in English by design — the feedback quotes the evidence in the passage.

A course teaches. Practice is what moves the band.
As of 2026 the course sells for around ৳5,000 (frequently discounted) and includes 50+ video lectures covering Academic and General Training, roughly 10 reading and listening mock tests, lecture sheets, the book "ঘরে বসে IELTS প্রস্তুতি", doubt-solving live classes and a support group. It is good value for the teaching. Learners still hit the same three walls once the videos are done:
The mock tests run out
Ten mocks is a fortnight of serious study. IELTSbiz generates a brand-new Cambridge-style passage every session, so the material never repeats and you are never re-sitting a test you half-remember.
Nobody marks your writing
Watching a Band 8 essay explained is not the same as finding out that your own Task Response sits a band below your Grammar. The free AI Writing Checker scores what you actually wrote against all four official criteria.
No per-type measurement
A mock gives you one reading band. IELTSbiz tracks a band for each of the 11 reading question types, so "reading is my weak skill" becomes "Matching Headings is my weak type".

Why serious test-takers choose IELTSbiz
It is the other half, not a replacement
Learn the method in Bangla from the course, then spend twenty minutes a day applying it here with something marking the result. Candidates who pair the two move faster than those who only watch or only drill.
Unlimited mocks after the course mocks run out
Fresh passages and full-length reading papers on demand, plus Listening practice and a four-skill mock — the volume a fixed course package cannot carry.
Feedback the same evening
Submit a Task 2 essay and get a band per criterion with specific fixes in under a minute. No waiting for a class, a group post or a batch schedule.
Priced for a Bangladeshi student budget
The core is free with no card. Pro is $6.99 a month, or $29 once for lifetime access — a small fraction of a full course fee, and you can test the whole thing before paying anything.
About IELTSbiz
IELTSbiz is an AI-powered IELTS preparation platform built around one idea: measured progress you can trust. It covers all four papers. Reading and Listening are written fresh rather than drawn from a bank of past papers, and are marked against an answer key — the same answers always produce the same band, so a rise in your score is progress rather than a different marker on a different day. Writing and Speaking are marked criterion by criterion for an estimated band — accurate enough to aim at, and reported as an estimate rather than an examiner’s verdict.
Reading goes deepest, because it is where most candidates quietly lose marks. Every wrong answer is labelled with the trap that caused it — Partial Truth, Extreme Language, Opposite Meaning, Outside Text, Distractor Word or Temporal Confusion — and shown beside the line of the passage that settles it. Your estimated band is then tracked separately for each of the 11 reading question types, so “reading is my weak skill” becomes “Matching Headings is my weak type”. When you want the whole paper, there is a full 40-question Reading test under a 60-minute clock, and a guided four-skill mock.
That measurement focus runs through everything we build. Our AI grading was validated in a study of 1,200 Writing Task 2 essays against certified examiners, and every guide on the site is written by our named editorial team and checked against official sources — you can read exactly how in our editorial policy. We sell trust and measurement, not hype: no band guarantee, and no accuracy percentage we have not published the method for.
What costs nothing: all four papers, within an allowance. Reading and Listening practice are free every day with full trap-level feedback, and Writing and Speaking are marked against the official criteria free every month. A 7-day trial raises those allowances rather than being the only thing that unlocks them — when it ends they drop back, they do not drop to zero. The one exception is the Band 8 Writing Trainer, whose marking is Pro only and which the trial does not include. Pro is $6.99/month or $29 once for lifetime access. The band-score calculator, the daily Word Coach and the Speaking cue cards are free to use. IELTSbiz is independent and is not affiliated with IDP, the British Council, or Cambridge, who jointly own and deliver the IELTS test.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 10 Minute School IELTS course good?
Yes. As of 2026 the IELTS Course by Munzereen Shahid is the most popular IELTS course in Bangladesh, with 50+ video lectures in Bangla covering both Academic and General Training, mock tests, lecture sheets, a book and live doubt-solving sessions, for a one-off fee of around ৳5,000. For structured teaching in your first language it is strong value. Its limits are practice volume and personal feedback, which is where a practice platform complements it.
Is IELTSbiz a free alternative to the 10 Minute School IELTS course?
IELTSbiz is free to start with no credit card: a daily allowance of AI-generated reading and listening practice with full trap-level feedback, a monthly allowance of writing and speaking marking, plus the band calculator and the daily Word Coach. Pro is $6.99/month or $29 lifetime. It is a practice-and-measurement platform rather than a video course, so many learners use both.
Which should I choose if I can only pick one?
If you are starting from scratch and want the test explained in Bangla, take the course first — structure beats drilling when you do not yet know the rules. If you already understand the test format and your band has stalled, choose the platform that marks your work and measures each question type, because that is what identifies the stall.
Does IELTSbiz teach in Bangla?
No — the interface, passages and feedback are in English, deliberately, because the test itself is in English and the feedback quotes the evidence in the passage. Many Bangladeshi candidates learn the method in Bangla from a course and then practise in English here.
How much does the 10 Minute School IELTS course cost?
As of August 2026 it lists at around ৳5,000, with promotions frequently bringing it closer to ৳3,600, and access is lifetime rather than a subscription. Prices change — check 10minuteschool.com before buying.
Is the 10 Minute School IELTS course enough for Band 7?
For most candidates, not on its own. It reliably takes you from not understanding the test to a solid Band 6 mock, which is the hardest step. Getting from 6 to 7 in Reading is only three marks out of 40, and finding those three requires measurement by question type and marked writing practice rather than more lectures.
How many mock tests come with the course?
Around 10 reading and listening mocks as of 2026 — at two a week, roughly a fortnight of material. Re-sitting mocks you remember inflates your score through recognition, so plan a source of fresh practice for the weeks after that.
What is the best study plan combining both?
Two weeks of course lectures to learn the format, one week to baseline yourself with mocks and a full 40-question reading paper, three weeks drilling the weakest question types with marked writing twice a week, then one full four-skill rehearsal at your booked test time. Our 10 Minute School course review sets this out week by week.
