Certified teacher from Ireland specialising in Exam Prep, Business English and Interview Practice I like to put the student's individual needs at the centre of the learning process. My own experience of majoring in Spanish in university allowed me to understand the most effective techniques to use when teaching a new language. This, combined with my TEFL Certificate, has enabled me to understand how to best help any student of any standard to meet their English language goals. I teach students of any level, ranging from complete beginners to advanced learners preparing for specialised exams. Soy una persona con fluidez en el idioma espanol. Por tanto, si es de tu preferencia conversar en esté, no tengo ningún inconveniente. !Yo te puedo explicar y ayudar con el mayor gusto!

Accredited English Teacher — Business English — IELTS 7.0 - 7.5+ Hi, I am Gary, born and raised in London. → Being one of only a handful of disabled teachers on italki, I understand how important accessibility and reliability can be. That's why I update my timetable every day and aim to be available daily, God willing. I specialize in teaching adults, especially WHITE-COLLAR EMPLOYEES, to ‘Speak English better, or more fluently’ on a wide range of general and business topics. I have a TESOL Teaching Certificate and 12+ years of teaching experience, in both Business English and IELTS, online since 2016 and at schools and universities in China. A first-class communicator and motivator with excellent interpersonal skills, and looking forward to transferring these abilities, using my knowledge of business English and IELTS. I will help and encourage you to ‘Speak English better, or more fluently’ and I will give oral corrections on grammar, pronunciation, and advice on word order and useful expressions to use during our lesson. I am looking forward to transferring these abilities, using my knowledge of Business English and IELTS. With this proven method, you will quickly improve your communication skills. Good form, in fact, is not to try to initiate any topics of conversation yourself at all. Whatever your reason for learning English — you have come to the right place! A 45-minute lesson is a good way to try out my English teaching methods. → Shall we make a start?

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.
