I have prepared students for the IELTS for one-on-one and in groups - for over fifteen years. There is nothing more satisfying than helping a student.
I consider that we only develop and advance when we are getting challenged, therefore, first and foremost, I help my students get comfortable with challenges as necessary hardship in the educational journey and then I mentor them towards the best possible way to systematically fill knowledge gaps and move forward in acquiring new skills.
I am a CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers to Other Languages) and British Council certified tutor for the IELTS exam.
I teach the essentials and skills needed for all four areas of language skill tested by the IELTS-- speaking and listening, reading and writing. I will not judge you, I will just guide you. I have the ability to break the material down and present it to which you can relate and understand using prior knowledge and life know-how. In addition, I mentor students on test taking skills and studying skills, while increasing their confidence in not only the material but themselves.
Most of the students that I have prepared for the IELTS did achieve the score they had set for themselves (usually ranging between 8 and 9). I am highly conversant with the overall IELTS format and this allows me to train the exam takers.
