Informazioni su di me
Insegnante di italki dal 18 Mar 2021Che tipo di insegnante sono
In my 20 years of teaching, I have taught all types of learners: from elementary to proficient, infants to elderly, Business English, General English and everything in between. I have worked for the industry leading organizations such as English First, International House and the British Council. I have led high profile educational projects including for the National Parliament of Myanmar, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ethiopia and the Ministry of the Interior of Qatar.
However, here on iTalki, my exclusive focus is on IELTS for adults. I have extensive experience with IELTS with 7,000+ actual speaking exams. My knowledge of the exam can help you identify your strengths & weaknesses.Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
As an exam preparation teacher, my goal is to make sure you fully understand the DOs and DONTs of the IELTS exam. My materials, developed during my time at the British Council, will take you through, step-by-step, the requirements of the exam to best ensure you are receiving the best possible score for your language level.
My IELTS lessons are based on years as an IELTS examiner. I have conducted more than 7,000+ real IELTS exams for Cambridge (I uploaded my "Invitation to Examine" to iTalki as proof). Honestly, my lessons are very direct and frank. I do not give my empty opinion, but base feedback from the Band Descriptors identifying exactly what's needed for you to improve.Il mio materiale didattico

DELTA Module 3 - Cambridge - 2017The DELTA is a Master's level qualification in the EU and UK. Module 3 of the certificate requires specialization, mine was exam preparation. This not only shows my deep and profound understanding of the exam process, but is evidence of demonstrated competencies to do so at a Master's level. This also comes from Cambridge, the world's most trusted authorities in the ESL, the part owners of the IELTS and Cambridge Main Suite exams.

La scelta dell'insegnante
I had 10 fantastic IELTS preparation lessons with Joe, which were immensely beneficial. Joe's expertise in IELTS is evident as he helped me understand the exam's requirements and pinpoint my weaknesses. His engaging teaching style made each lesson enjoyable, transforming challenging topics into manageable tasks with humour and ease. Through Joe's guidance, I gained a clear understanding of how to tackle the IELTS writing and speaking sections effectively. His approach to teaching, which involves leading students to find their own answers, significantly boosted my confidence and skills. In a short span of 10 lessons, Joe provided me with the tools and knowledge to improve my speaking abilities and strategize for the writing tasks. His patience and personalized teaching methods are commendable. I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for effective and enjoyable IELTS preparation. His lessons are a valuable investment toward achieving your desired score.

If I had practiced IELTS with Joe before, I would have got a better score right away. For instance, Joe showed me easy-to-fix issues that would have brought me to a higher level instantly. Definitely, he is the perfect IELTS coach you are looking for. Thus, if you want to take a high-quality mock test with detailed feedback for every criterion, don't even hesitate to book a lesson!

Joe pointed out both my strengths and weaknesses during the session. I didn't have much time to practice with him, as I have my IELTS exam tomorrow. Still, it was a great opportunity to receive constructive feedback just before the test. Most importantly, he encouraged me, which meant a lot.

I got a 7.5 after 6 classes with Joe! He focused on how to pass the exam and maximize the score instead of English language itself. As a result, you can see a big leap in just several days! I could not achieve what I got without his instructions, such as discourse markers, complex sentences and so many other magics.
He’s perfect for IELTS students who want to understand the criteria and see the test from an examiner’s prospective! Highly recommend for people with the language abilities but dont know the exam skills.
