I’ve just had a mock IELTS test with Dave, a former IELTS examiner. He is a very professional teacher and clearly extremely knowledgeable about the IELTS exam.
The session felt very authentic and closely resembled the real test. Dave provided clear, precise feedback and explained exactly how examiners assess performance, highlighting specific areas to improve.
It was a very useful and insightful lesson. I would definitely recommend Dave to anyone preparing for IELTS.

I had 3 speaking sessions with Dave and I would say that all of it were enjoyable. During the first session he had some technical issues with his camera but he extended the lesson to make up for the lost time. He gave me tips on some vocabularies that were more appropriate to use in a sentence! Happy to share that I got a C1 score for IELTS speaking!
