Certified teacher from Ireland specialising in Exam Prep, Business English and Interview Practice My name is Conor and I’m an English teacher on italki. I studied Spanish and Geography in University College Dublin. I then completed the 120 Hour Advanced TEFL Qualification and the 30 Hour Teaching English Online Course with the TEFL Institute of Ireland. I’m from Dublin in Ireland. My native language is English, and my accent isn't too strong! I love sports, especially soccer. I also like cooking and fitness. I always put the student's individual needs at the centre of everything. My time studying Spanish allowed me to understand the most effective techniques when teaching languages. This, combined with my TEFL Cert, has enabled me to understand how to help any student meet their goals. I teach students of any level, from beginners to advanced learners preparing for specialised exams. Soy una persona con fluidez en el idioma espanol. Si es de tu preferencia conversar en esté, no tengo ningún inconveniente. !Yo te puedo explicar y ayudar con el mayor gusto! My teaching strategy is personalised. I'm aware that certain teaching methods are more helpful to some students than others. I specifically tailor each student's learning plan, allowing them to develop and improve. I like to find out how best a student likes to learn. Therefore I include the right combo of visual, aural and oral aids. I also include real life materials such as Youtube and newspaper articles. Learning a new language should always be a joyful experience, so I create a fun and relaxed environment!

I've taught in Australia, Cambodia, Spain, England and Scotland, as well as online to students all over the world. However, teaching hasn't been my only career and I also once worked as an engineer. All these experiences have led me to where I am now - working in a university in Scotland where I teach STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) students. I help students develop their English communication skills so that they can better understand the language requirements of their chosen discipline.

CELTA-certified teacher and IELTS trainer (IDP) with 15 years of experience My passion lies in IELTS/exam preparation, and I enjoy the unique challenges that language learning brings. Over the years, I have worked with a wide range of learners, including students aiming for higher scores for university admission or emigration, those who need to pass the exam quickly, as well as anyone looking to improve their overall English skills. How we’ll work: 1. IELTS Strategy: We’ll work on understanding how the exam is assessed, what separates a Band 6 response from a Band 7+ one, and which common mistakes lower scores even for strong English speakers. Success in IELTS is not only about your level of English, but also about understanding exactly what the exam requires and how the scoring criteria work. 2. Structured English Practice: Lessons are built around developing specific skills rather than simply having general conversation. Depending on your goals, we may work with coursebooks, news articles, videos, or other authentic materials to improve grammar, vocabulary, fluency, accuracy, and overall confidence in English. 3. Collaborative Lessons: I use your preferred video platform together with shared Google Docs for real-time work, organised notes, corrections, and clear progress tracking. If you’re curious about how English works and want lessons that make grammar and language skills straightforward, I’m here to help!

    James is an excellent teacher and a wonderful person. During our first lesson, he asked about my goals and suggested a plan. In our lessons, we work a lot on preparing for business interviews and learning how to talk about my work experience and projects. One of my main problems is nervousness. It is very difficult for me to answer unexpected questions. I start mixing up tenses and using the same words again and again. James helps me deal with my nervousness in a calm and friendly way. He also helps me sound more confident in English. It was especially important for me that he corrected my mistakes and pronunciation instead of only saying, “You’re doing great.” This really helps me improve and grow. I also really like the friendly and comfortable atmosphere during the lessons. We can laugh about some things, and this helps me stay involved and enjoy the learning process.

    Adam is turning into my English coach more than my English teacher. His new method aims to teach you a new way of learning a language. The ultimate goal of his classes is for you to become an independent student. He wants you to learn how to learn by yourself. The key point is to understand how the process of learning a language works and take advantage of it. Not only do his classes have plenty of content, but he also shows you a refreshing way of making notes, reviewing them, and making connections to transform all your passive English into active English. I've started using power tools like Anki, Obsidian, Youglish, Readlang and English-Corpora, a whole set of resources to take my English to the next level.

    My 8-year-old daughter Anna had her first introductory lesson with Tom, and it was brilliant. Tom was very patient, friendly and funny, which helped Anna feel comfortable right away. The lesson was engaging, and the material was well structured and perfectly suited to her level. I was also particularly impressed by Tom’s pronunciation. In my opinion, he has a very clear and easy-to-understand pronunciation, which is especially valuable for children who are learning English.

    Stanislav is a wonderful teacher! Our lessons are called "Discussions about weekly topics and news," and this format suits me perfectly. He always offers several articles to choose from, so we never run out of interesting topics. After just a few lessons, we built a great atmosphere where we can freely jump from world politics to video games =) Stanislav is interested in so many things that everyone can find something to talk about with him. What I appreciate most is how he adapts the conversation to my interests and always has something to add. He is also very punctual and charismatic. Thanks to him, I've noticed real progress: I can now start a conversation on any topic without hesitation. If you're looking for speaking practice at any level, I can't recommend Stanislav enough!

    I have been taking weekly classes with Ariadne for more than a year now, sometimes choosing Structured Speaking Practice and sometimes Free Conversation, and I always really enjoy our lessons. She creates such a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, while at the same time giving really helpful corrections and suggestions. I especially appreciate the detailed written feedback after each lesson, which is extremely useful. Our Free Conversation lessons always feel very natural, and we discuss a wide range of interesting and varied topics. This has not only helped me expand my vocabulary, but also improved my fluency and, most importantly, my confidence when speaking English. The Structured Speaking Practice lessons are just as enjoyable and effective. Each session is thoughtfully structured—balancing speaking, listening, reading, and vocabulary practice in a perfect way. Ariadne is professional, punctual, always well-prepared, and I can recommend her without any hesitation.

    Smith老师是一位很好的老师,在跟着老师学习之前,我英语基础很差,很难开口说完整句子,目前距离第一次试课不到20天,上了5次课,加上日常练习和完成作业,已经可以针对一个话题说2-3分钟的口语(其实五分钟以上也可以)。Smith老师的一些学习方法也给了我一些深入学习英语的启发 非常非常幸运能遇到Smith老师 I initially came to italki because I felt completely stuck when trying to speak English out, and practicing on my own just wasn't working. Mrs. Smith is incredibly patient. She customizes the lessons based on my specific needs and speaks at a perfect pace. Whenever I don't understand something, she always finds a different way to explain it until I get it. She also makes sure to send me the lesson documents after class. After less than 20 days of learning with her, combined with my own practice, I can now speak continuously for 2-3 minutes on a given topic. She also taught me some highly effective learning methods, like how to internalize new language chunks into my own expressions. I am so grateful for Mrs. Smith's help. Thanks to her, learning English has actually become one of my hobbies now.

I know this is not easy, and I truly appreciate her patience and teaching skills. Her explanations always help me understand not only the rules, but also the logic behind the language. I believe her background may contribute , and I’m very grateful to have her as my teacher.

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.
