Full time job situation
Working 9 to 6 every day makes attending in-person classes basically impossible unless I want to destroy my sleep schedule. Online prep seems like the obvious answer but I keep hearing people say classroom environment is irreplaceable. What was your actual experience comparing the two?

Working full time is exactly why I went online, in-person classes were impossible with my schedule. I tried both honestly, started with a local group course and quit after a month because burnout was real. Online prep was the one that actually worked. I followed Cambridge Exam Preparation Course Online and loved the flexibility, could do lessons after work or early morning without missing anything. The content was solid, focused on the actual Cambridge exam format, not just general English. Classroom environment is nice but for IELTS it didn’t move the needle for me. What mattered was consistent practice, clear structure, and feedback on my writing and speaking. Online gave me all of that without the commute or rigid timing. If you’re busy, online is 100% the better option.
