Prepare for your IELTS exam with a former IELTS speaking and writing examiner

Advert description
Are you struggling to reach band 7.0 or higher in your IELTS test? Let me help you.
.
Many IELTS candidates with high levels of English struggle to reach high bands in IELTS writing and/or speaking. This is usually due to a misunderstanding of the test requirements. While you may be a confident English speaker, you may not be showing your level during the IELTS speaking test. Also, even confident native English speakers can find IELTS writing difficult, because they do not understand how to describe graphs or charts effectively, or write strong essays in only 40 minutes
.
As a former IELTS writing and speaking examiner for both the British Council and IDP, I understand the IELTS band descriptors that the examiners use to assess you, and what you need to do to reach the high band scores. After preparing students for the IELTS test since 2008, for the major worldwide IELTS preparation centres, including the British Council and International House, as well as international universities like the University of Sheffield, I also know the best techniques and materials to use to help you get the best score you can.
.
Having taught students from all over the world, including China, Vietnam, Japan, Spain, Poland, Pakistan, India and Ukraine, I also understand the mistakes you make and how to help you fix them. My recent students have increased their IELTS scores by at least 1 band, and have reached as high as 8.5 overall.
.
My sessions are aimed at your specific needs. After doing a mock IELTS test to identify your strengths and weaknesses, I will create a plan to help you reach the score you need. I use my own materials, developed from years of experience and focused on what you need.

Our class time together will be spent analysing questions, discussing the most effective ways to answer them, and looking at model answers for relevant vocabulary and grammar. While speaking practice will be done in class, you will do the writing tasks at home for me to assess and give feedback on.

If it sounds like I can help you, please get in touch. We can organise a free 15-minute chat to discuss how we can work together to help you reach your goals.

Extremely helpful to me. I am from Malaysia and struggling to learn IELTS by my own to achieve university requirement for my PhD. Kate is able to guide me and pointed out my weaknesses in writing which I believe is the most crucial thing for me to improve within a short period of time. I could not thank her enough for helping me to secure my offer from Cambridge, and yes, I am doing my first year PhD in Cambridge now. Lastly, I would strongly recommend Kate's lessons to those who wish to increase your English proficiency effectively. Cheers.

Kate is the best.I have taken multiple exams and met many people before meeting Kate.People often spend a lot of time and money on unnecessary resources and so-called “IELTS tutors” who only know how to market themselves.Kate helped me improve my overall band score from 6.5 to 7.5, including Writing.She made complicated concepts extremely simple and was always there to respond to my silly questions—patiently and on time—especially for Writing Task reviews.When I came to her, I already had enough knowledge, but she channelled my way of writing and speaking in the right direction.My Speaking score jumped from 6 to 7.5, mainly because she helped me stop memorising answers and start speaking naturally.Don’t waste money in unnecessary places—invest it in the right place. Good tutors are a bit pricey these days, but Kate’s classes are affordable and among the best in the market.She is a very underrated individual.This is not a paid review—it’s a gratitud
