Me as a Teacher
I'm approachable, friendly and encouraging. Please check my reviews! In my online IELTS lessons, we will focus on specific skills to help you improve your band score. We will explore the various different skills you need to improve in parts 1, 2 and 3 for each of the 4 core skills: Fluency, Vocabulary, Grammar and Pronunciation. These skills will include paraphrasing, using connectives, and using idioms.
My lessons & teaching style
First we'll do a speaking mock test, then I'll give you detailed feedback according to the official IELTS band descriptors. By using a bank of recent questions, we'll focus on the skills you need to achieve the band score you need. For example, we will look at how to paraphrase by answering a variety of common questions, such as: Do you like going to the cinema? Yes, I like / I love / I'm fond of / I'm really into going to the cinema. Do you think a healthy life style is important? Yes, in my opinion, a healthy life style is vital / essential / crucial. There are many other skills to learn. Book a lesson with me to learn how to get your desired band score.
