English test prep - IELTS, PTE, ISLPR + University English + Conversation + High School Hi, I’m Tracy, a qualified Australian teacher with over 25 years of experience teaching students from around the world. I have taught in secondary schools in Australia, the UK and China and prepared international students for undergraduate and master’s degrees at the University of Adelaide. I’m originally from Adelaide and now live in Broken Hill, in the Australian outback. Outside teaching, I enjoy travelling, reading, cooking and hiking. I specialise in: • IELTS, PTE and ISLPR preparation • Academic English for university and high school students • Everyday English, including work, travel and life in Australia I believe every student is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach to learning. My lessons are friendly and relaxed, but they also have a clear purpose. I adapt lessons to your goals, level and interests, using practical examples and personalised materials. You will have plenty of opportunities to speak, ask questions and make mistakes — they are an important part of learning. I will give you clear explanations and useful feedback to help you understand what you are doing well and what to work on next. I work with teenagers and adults from intermediate to advanced level. In our first meeting, we’ll talk about your goals and what you would like to improve, and I’ll suggest a learning plan that suits you. If you have any questions or would like to know whether my lessons are a good fit for you, feel free to send me a message.

Tracy is one of my favourite teachers on italki, and I always look forward to our classes. Each lesson feels fun and natural because we discuss different topics, including trendy, up-to-date ones, which helps me learn real, useful vocabulary. Since I live in Australia, I also really enjoy learning about Australian culture, daily life, and how people actually speak here. She’s super organised and well-prepared. I love her slides and the resources she shares before class. The videos, apps, websites, and podcasts she recommends have been so useful for improving my English outside of lessons too. Most importantly, Tracy is always positive and encouraging. Learning English can feel unmotivating sometimes, but she keeps me confident and excited to keep going. I always have fun, friendly conversations in her class. I feel lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their English and learn about Australian English and life.

If you’re looking for guidance with PTE preparation, look no further! Tracy is the teacher you need!! I’ve been preparing for the PTE with Tracy, and she’s been absolutely incredible. Her deep understanding of the test structure and scoring criteria, combined with her clear and detailed explanations, made a huge difference in my confidence and performance. Tracy is not only knowledgeable but also friendly, patient, and professional. She created a supportive environment that kept me motivated. Since starting lessons with her, my English has improved significantly, and even those around me have noticed the difference! My only regret is not having found her sooner. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone preparing for the PTE or simply looking to improve their English in a structured, personalised, and encouraging way.

Since the mid-July, I’ve been learning IELTS and general English expressions from Tracy, and I can’t thank her enough. She always found helpful resources for me and gave me great advice whenever I felt nervous or stuck — especially because I’m about to move abroad for the first time and have no idea how long I’ll be staying. Having traveled a lot herself and worked abroad as a teacher, she understood me both as a student and as someone preparing for life overseas. Thank you for everything, Tracy! Please let me know if you ever visit Canada while I’m there.

Tracy has helped me enormously, not only with improving my English but also with understanding how the PTE works, including the structure, strategies, and approach for each task. Her lessons are very well organised and practical, and she explains everything in a way that is easy to understand and apply. I’ve already noticed a big improvement in my confidence and preparation. I’m extremely happy with the lessons and would highly recommend Tracy to anyone preparing for the PTE. Thank you, Tracy! 😊
