What IELTS Lessons With Me Look Like
Exam-Style Practice
We work through exam-style tasks, breaking down what the examiner is looking for.
Coaching for Every Band
Detailed written feedback on writing, plus speaking practice that builds fluency, whatever band you are aiming for.
Topics and Skills Covered
Reading
I teach you how to manage your time across passages and how to spot the answer types IELTS uses. We work on skimming, scanning and inference so you finish the paper and pick up the marks you are missing.
Writing
Task 1 and Task 2 get very different treatment, and Task 1 differs again by version: Academic asks you to describe a chart, graph, diagram or process, while General Training asks for a letter. I show you how to structure each response, how to hit the assessment criteria and how to avoid the common traps that keep students stuck at Band 6. I mark every piece of writing personally and give you feedback you can act on.
Listening
We work on prediction techniques, note-taking strategies and how to handle the different question types in each part. I help you identify which question types trip you up and we drill those until they click.
Speaking
I run full mock speaking tests and coach you on fluency, pronunciation and how to extend your answers naturally. We work on Parts 1, 2 and 3 separately so you know how to approach each one, and I show you where you're gaining and losing marks.
Who IELTS Tuition Is For
Students Preparing for University Admission
If your offer from a university in the UK, Australia, Canada or elsewhere depends on a specific IELTS Academic band score, I'll build your lessons around hitting that target. We focus on the skills where you'll gain marks fastest.
Professionals Who Need IELTS for Immigration or Work
You might need General Training for a visa application or Academic for professional registration. I plan every lesson around the version you're sitting.
Students Who've Taken IELTS Before and Need a Higher Score
If you've already sat the exam and didn't hit your target, I can look at your results and work out where the marks are being lost.
Teens Taking IELTS for the First Time
I make sure younger students understand the format, feel confident with the timing and know what's expected in each section.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover both IELTS Academic and General Training?
Both, and I plan every lesson around the one you're sitting. The reading and writing tasks are different across the two, so it's important we're practising the right format from day one.
How does online IELTS tuition work?
We meet on Google Meet. I share exam-style tasks on screen, we work through them together and I give you feedback in real time. For writing tasks, I mark them between lessons and send you detailed written feedback so you know what to improve.
How many lessons will I need?
It depends on your starting level and target score. Some students see significant improvement in 6–8 lessons; others prefer ongoing weekly sessions in the run-up to their exam. I'll tell you after the first lesson how many sessions I think you need.
Can I focus on just one skill?
Yes. If writing is the only thing holding you back, we can spend every lesson on that. I'll work with whatever you need most.
I get nervous about the speaking test. Can you help with that?
Most people are. I run full mock speaking tests so you get used to the format and timing. The more you practise under realistic conditions, the more natural it feels. I also coach you on strategies for when your mind goes blank. It happens to everyone and there are ways to handle it.
What's the difference between IELTS Academic and General Training?
The listening and speaking sections are the same, but reading and writing are completely different. Academic reading uses longer, more complex texts. Academic Writing Task 1 asks you to describe data or a process instead of writing a letter. I make sure we're always practising the right format.
Do you provide practice materials?
I do. I use a mix of official Cambridge IELTS materials and tasks I've put together based on what I see students struggling with. Everything is exam-standard and matched to the version you're sitting.
