Former IELTS Examiner in China ➡️➡️ My mock exams are excellent and very helpful for you! ⬅️⬅️ [Profile updated December 2025: I have added a 30-minute Trial Lesson which is a mock exam and evaluation, but without an explanation of the errors I heard and without much time for suggestions.] My specialty is giving IELTS speaking mock exams. I will accept a few IELTS preparation students, but only if you have had a mock exam with me first. I returned home to the US six years ago, after teaching at universities in China for 19 years. Before I taught English in China, I was a music teacher in the US and in Mexico and also lived in Vienna, Austria before moving to China. For the last six years I have lived a quiet life in the US with my mother and her three cats. If you have a mock exam with me it will be like taking the real exam, except that I will be taking notes. I will tell you your score in detail and suggest what you need to do to improve so that you can make your goal score. If you are one of the two or three students that I accept for IELTS preparation, you should know that my IELTS prep classes are relaxed and I don't give homework. If you want a strict teacher who gives homework there are many others to choose from. I specialize in giving IELTS mock speaking exams. I have taught IELTS on different platforms since about 2017. In March 2022 I started to teach on iTalki. Now I have conversation classes on one platform and IELTS classes only on iTalki. I'm a former IELTS examiner in China, and can give you a mock exam and evaluation. I will only accept two or...

I truly want to thank Ms. Buswell.She is very thorough, dedicated, and professional. She also acknowledged the effort I have put into my pronunciation (8🥹). That really touched me and made me feel that my hard work had not been wasted. With her excellent ear for detail and rich experience, she clearly explained why my speaking score had been stuck and pointed out exactly what was limiting me, using specific and practical examples. This lesson really refreshed my understanding of my own English level. So if you have been stuck for a long time and started to doubt yourself, I would highly recommend taking a 90-minute lesson with her.

I had a wonderful experience learning with Miss Buswell. She was incredibly patient, listened carefully to everything I said, and kindly explained every mistake instead of just correcting it. IELTS Speaking has always been the most stressful part of the exam for me, but she created such a friendly and supportive atmosphere that I felt completely relaxed. Her feedback and practical tips were excellent and helped me overcome many of the things I had been confused about. I left the lesson feeling much more confident and motivated. I highly recommend Miss Buswell to anyone who wants to improve their IELTS Speaking in a supportive and professional environment. She will help you gain confidence and learn to speak more naturally.
