Professional lessons from a teacher with more than 20 years' experience Having been in the profession since 1999, I have had the chance to teach many different subjects to many different people and at many different levels. Before becoming an English teacher, I was a science teacher in secondary schools in Rwanda and England. Then I moved on to English teaching as my love of travel and languages took me away from the laboratory. During that time, I've learned many different teaching styles, not just from books and training courses, but from the students themselves. In 2018, I started to teach online and I've been improving my online teaching technique ever since.

    I want to share my wonderful learning experience with Kylan. First of all, Kylan is extremely experienced in IELTS preparation. He can quickly pinpoint my weak areas and provides practical techniques and effective strategies to help me improve. Second, what I appreciate most is his inclusive and encouraging teaching style. Like many Chinese students, I used to be a typical "silent English" learner. With Kylan's patient guidance and encouragement, creating a safe space where mistakes are just part of the process. Third, Kylan is genuinely dedicated and responsible. He assigns targeted practice after every class and always gives timely, detailed feedback with clear points for improvement. Last but not least, his charismatic, humorous and easygoing, which makes for a relaxed and pleasant learning atmosphere. If you're looking for a teacher who combines real expertise with a genuinely fun learning experience, I highly recommend Kylan. Learning English with him is truly enjoyable!

    I have been taking lessons with Cynthia for a while now, and I have seen significant improvement in my speaking skills. What I appreciate most is her structured approach: she created a tailored plan to help me achieve both my fluency and examination goals. She consistently provides highly useful materials and practical tips, which is crucial for me as an exam candidate. Cynthia is always well-prepared, incredibly patient, and encouraging. She manages to strike the perfect balance in her lessons – the atmosphere is light and comfortable, yet productive and serious. During our speaking practice, she provides valuable feedback and corrections without ever interrupting my flow. I am incredibly glad to have found Cynthia. Thank you for your dedication and care! With your continued help, I am sure I will leave the language barrier far behind. Highly recommended!

    I've really enjoyed working with Ellie. I first started taking lessons with her to prepare for an important presentation in English, and she helped me gain much more confidence than I expected. She is always well prepared, encouraging, and genuinely interested in the topics we discuss. I especially appreciate that she creates a relaxed atmosphere where speaking English feels natural and mistakes are simply part of the learning process. Her feedback is clear, practical, and always helpful, and her pronunciation coaching has made a real difference for me. If you're looking for an encouraging and effective English coach, I can definitely recommend Ellie.

    The best teacher ! The teacher’s teaching methods and procedures are well‑structured. She offers detailed practice approaches covering pronunciation, vocabulary and sentence‑building. She also assigns weekly homework to reinforce what we have learned. Talking with her is really pleasant. She is energetic throughout the whole lesson and gives me plenty of time to express myself. This is by far the lesson where I have spoken the most! I absolutely love it!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IELTS exam?

IELTS, or the International English Language Testing System, is a standardized test designed to assess the language proficiency of individuals who want to study, work, or immigrate to English-speaking countries. The IELTS exam consists of four modules: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
There is a distinction between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. IELTS Academic is typically for individuals applying to higher education institutions, while IELTS General Training is often used for immigration purposes or for entry into vocational training programs.

What is the format of the IELTS exam?

The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam consists of four modules: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Each module assesses different language skills and is designed to evaluate a candidate’s English proficiency comprehensively.
Listening: The Listening module consists of four sections, each with 10 questions. The recordings are played only once. The recordings include conversations, monologues, and discussions about everyday situations, academic topics, and social contexts. This module lasts for approximately 30 minutes.
Reading: The Reading module has three sections, with a total of 40 questions. Texts are taken from books, newspapers, magazines, and online sources. The texts vary in style and complexity, ranging from descriptive and factual to argumentative and analytical. Questions may include multiple-choice, matching, and True/False questions. This module lasts for 60 minutes.
Writing: The Writing module is divided into two tasks: Task 1 (Report Writing for Academic/General Training) and Task 2 (Essay Writing). Task 1 (Academic) includes describing and interpreting visual data (graphs, tables, charts, diagrams). Task 1 (General Training) includes a letter based on a given situation. Task 2 (Academic and General Training) includes an essay responding to a point of view, argument, or problem. This task assesses the ability to present and justify an opinion and discuss ideas. This module lasts for 60 minutes.
Speaking: The Speaking module consists of three parts: Introduction and Interview, Long Turn, and Discussion. Introduction and interview (4-5 minutes) include general questions about familiar topics such as hobbies, family, work, and studies. Long Turn (3-4 minutes) involves a task card with a topic, and the candidate has 1 minute to prepare and take notes before speaking on the topic given. Discussion (4-5 minutes) includes a more in-depth discussion of the topic in Part 2. This section explores the candidate’s ability to express and justify opinions. This module lasts for around 11 to 14 minutes.

For how long the IELTS score is valid?

IELTS scores are generally valid for two years from the test date. There is no pass or fail in the IELTS exam. Institutions and organizations set their own score requirements, and what is considered a good score may vary.
There is no negative marking in the IELTS exam. Test takers are not penalized for incorrect answers. If you don’t qualify, you can retake the IELTS exam as often as you wish. However, there is no specified waiting period between test sittings.

How can I maximize my IELTS scores?

Familiarize yourself with the format of each module and the types of questions you will encounter. Work on enhancing your overall English language proficiency. Focus on vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, as these aspects are assessed in multiple modules.
Build a diverse vocabulary by reading various materials such as newspapers, articles, and academic texts. This will help in the reading section and in expressing ideas more precisely in the writing and speaking module. Develop your writing skills by practicing essays and report writing. Pay attention to task response, coherence, and cohesion. Practice under timed conditions to simulate the exam environment.
Allocate specific amounts of time for each task in the Writing section. Develop a plan for organizing your ideas and writing efficiently within the time constraints. Listen to a variety of English accents and practice note-taking. Focus on understanding the main ideas, supporting details, and the speaker’s attitude.

How should I prepare for the IELTS exam?

Preparation for the IELTS exam involves familiarizing yourself with the test format, practicing with sample questions, and improving your English language skills. Many candidates find it helpful to take IELTS preparation courses or work with tutors.
