    Any IELTS teacher specialists? Recommendations for a tutor?

    Hello italki community! One of my students need help with IELTS preparation. I have done some TOEFL work, but I specialize in fluency coaching and pronunciation for intermediate and higher speakers.

    Are any of you specialists in IELTS or do you have recommendations for an IELTS tutor?? My student is very motivated and kind and is planning to take the test in November.

    Nice work, Mario! Talking the first step can be the hardest, so congratulations! Here are my corrections for you:

    ..................

    My first post

    Here I am. I'm trying to improve my English and maybe the italki comunity can help me to do it.
    A friend of mine recently talked told to me about this web page website so I have decided to try it. I am awear aware my English needs improvements improvement and I am determinated to get do it.
    I really would like to enhance my writting improve my writing.First of all because I am going to use English to prepare for public examinations in my country and secondly, 'cause* I just want to feel more confident when I am writting  writing. Please don麓t hesitate correct me as much as you want. I Know know I can be a mess so any corrections will be wellcome. welcome.

    thanks* :)


    *I put a star by " 'cause "  and " thanks "  because these are fine in very informal writing. But you might want to use "because" and capitalize "Thanks" if you are sending a work email. 


    By the way, your grammar is great, and you express yourself really well! I just found some little spelling mistakes. If you try writing in Word or Google Docs (turn the language to English) you will see where the spell checker function will tell you when a word is misspelled. That might help you with your writing. Keep it up!

    Hi Jack,

    I like your reminder to review after lessons. My most successful students do this. If you have notes made just for you, with examples of what you need to work on, remember to use them!

    Hi Lidia! Thanks for sharing your daily routine. Here are my corrections for you:


    MY DAY TO DAY

    Every morning I wake up at 6 o'clock to study English, becase I am soon having because I will take my English exams soon.
    I hope to pass and get my official certificate.

    Then I go to work. I like working, I have been working in the same company for a year, and now I feel very well very comfortable at my job. We are a company which we help that helps everyone with their doubts concerns in financial matters.

    When I finish my work day workday,* I like doing exercise, working out, so I run every day for thirty minutes. I would like to do a lot of more exercise but I haven't got* much time.

    After that, I come back home, I shower and make the dinner to for my brother and me. myself and my brother.

    Finally, I go to bed early. All this day after day.

    However, on the weekend I like sightseeing for at nearby villages. It's fantastic to have the opportunity to get to know these places which that are the most beatiful in the region.

    Next weekend I'm going to travel to Portugal. If I have had  more much time, I will travel everytime. would travel all the time. I love it.


    ----

    Awesome, Lidia! You sound like my kind of girl. I like traveling too! I wanted to leave you a couple notes about some of the words your used:

    You wrote:

    "When I finish my work day workday,* "  - you can learn about the difference between 'work day' and 'workday' here: http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/workday-or-work-day.2945218/

    You also wrote:

    "...but I haven't got* much time."

    I haven't got = more British sounding to me

    I don't have = more typical American English

    So you can decide which you would like to use.


    One more thing: careful with translating "dudas" into "doubts" - it can mean "I have a question" or "I have some concerns" in English.


    Thanks again for sharing,

    Sabrina :)

    Chat with a native English speaker on Skype?

    Hi! I'm an English teacher (and personal user) here on italki. I love this community so much; everyone I have met so far has been really awesome and open and giving.

    I'd like to talk to even more of you! I want to offer some chat time on Skype (in English) this week. These won't be classes; I am just looking to talk to other ambitious, open-minded professionals like myself.

    I have a blog for English learners and I want to really get to know more about ambitious professionals who need English for work so that I can write better articles on my blog and make better videos and even give better English classes.


    So if you'd like to chat with me in English, send me a personal message, and I will let you know my schedule!

    You could also say, "I'd prefer to not overeat." Or: "I'd like to avoid overeating." Or even more casually, "I don't like overeating'" ...although this is not a direct translation, it sounds more natural.

    I think doing the right job and staying on the right career path can help you feel happier in life.

    My mother is a great example. Teaching was her TRUE calling. She loved it, and it helped her feel whole to know she was helping her students learn in a kind environment.

    How about you, Hossein - do you feel like you are on the right career path?

    I second the casual speech and slang idea! 

    Make sure to share your specific country's/regional slang so that people know where you're from.
