My lessons are informal and relaxed; there will be hard work, but no unnecessary stress.

The first step is to identify your weaknesses; once it is clear where you need to improve, we can focus on those areas.

The IELTS test in particular is as much about technique as it is about language knowledge, and often you can increase your score by half a point or even a full point without learning any additional grammar or vocabulary.

I have been preparing students for the IELTS test since 2008, which now feels like a long time ago (the Beijing Olympics, Obama's first election, the financial crisis!) and I am confident in my ability to help students get the score they need, whether it is for university, a visa, or a specific job.
