Are you keeping going back and forth in your IELTS speaking?

Have you found yourself saying the same thing over and over again when you answer various part 1, 2, or 3 questions of the IELTS??

Students are too eager to try to be perfect, and with this perfectionism, they get stuck on being dissatisfied with what they are saying (almost always!). Have you had that?

In this podcast, I go over one element that can make a huge difference in your performance if corrected. 

You may feel enlightened just by noticing it and becoming aware of it, and once corrected, the rewards might surprise you.

Jump into the recording, improve yourself there, and check my availability if you are preparing for any kind of interview or English-speaking engagement ahead of you.

I've helped thousands of people succeed in the spoken English arena; I can do the same for you.
