In this Teaching IELTS course, trainees gain a comprehensive understanding of the IELTS exam, including the scoring criteria and question types. The course  suggests ways for teaching both general and IELTS specific test-taking strategies. In the final sections, I was required to find practical suggestions for teaching students how to succeed on all of the four components of the test. To complete the course, there was a final project, discussions, readings, and quizzes to complete.

I received this certificate after a four week course at the institute in Florence, Italy. The course was 120 hours and consisted of daily teaching practice and feedback, a one to one student project, lesson design, a grammar examination, and culture studies. This certificate permits me to teach English as a foreign language and is a certificate accepted by most international language schools.

I have 150+ hours of teaching experience with Business English 1-1 plus teaching more than 500 students in 130+ group classes. This demonstrates my ability to teach students how to communicate effectively in a professional business setting about topics specific to their field or industry and specific professional goals.

I've completed more than 100 lessons of 60 to 90 minutes each helping students prepare for language exams including IELTS, TOEFL, PET, KET, and translation exams. This experience shows that I can help students successfully navigate the format of these different exams, develop the listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills they need,  and develop the strategies necessary to successfully attain the scores they need.

I have a Bachelor's degree in teaching children and teenagers which included practicum experience and a year of student teaching before beginning to teach professionally.
