Hi, I have not yet taught a lesson on IELTS but am qualified, I avoid it at best , sometimes I go back to my lesson materials and revise, hoping to make it my specialty, but not just yet.

What is your experience of teaching IELTS?

I have taught around a 100 students that were mostly looking for a 6.5 or 7 band score:
Based on my experience, the most challenging part is writing and the easiest is listening for students 


I am an accredited IELTS preparation tutor that has taught over 800 students how to study for and what to expect when taking an IELTS test.

I have taken several students through actual IELTS exams in order to improve their confidence and work on their ability to use a foreign language when under duress.

What a great question, teaching IELTS has taught me a lot of things, such as what books to use, where students should start and many more. I have always updated myself by taking part in workshops and webinars, the most recent one was about the updated version of band descriptors. 

Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Далер, и я преподаю английский язык уже более 5 лет. Два года до начала преподавания я жил в Великобритании и работал ассистентом копирайтера, уже тогда у меня имелся сертификат IELTS. Сдал я этот экзамен на 8 (из 9), чего достигают лишь 0,8% из всех сдающих IELTS во всем мире. 
Почему же именно я помогу выучить английский или подготовиться к международным экзаменам? Все просто -я сам через это прошел. Мне давали кучу советов, пробовали на мне разные техники преподавания, и я, в итоге, смог выработать свою собственную систему преподавания, основанную на моем личном опыте, которая помогла уже очень многим. 
Также стоит сказать, что мое отношение к ученикам максимально почтительное, так как я отношусь к каждому как к личности в первую очередь.

Daler

Мой опыт преподавания - более 5 лет. Владею сертификатом IELTS (8), уровень - proficiency. Мои студенты сдают международные экзамены и поступают в унив

На своих уроках я фокусируюсь на всех 6 аспектах языка - разговорная речь, письмо, аудирование, чтение, грамматика и лексика. При желании ученика больше развивать какой-то один из аспектов, мы фокусируемся именно на нем, но также не забываем об остальных.

Hello! My name is Daler and I have been teaching English for over 5 years. Two years before I started teaching, I lived in the UK and worked as a copywriter's assistant, even then I had an IELTS certificate. I passed this exam with an 8 (out of 9), which is achieved by only 0.8% of all IELTS takers worldwide.
Why will I help you learn English or prepare for international exams? It's simple - I went through it myself. They gave me a lot of advice, tried different teaching techniques on me, and in the end I was able to develop my own teaching system based on my personal experience, which has already helped a lot of people.
It is also worth saying that my attitude towards students is as respectful as possible, since I treat everyone as an individual in the first place.

My teaching experience is over 5 years. I have an IELTS certificate (8), level - proficiency. My students pass international exams and enter the university

In my lessons I focus on all 6 aspects of the language - speaking, writing, listening, reading, grammar and vocabulary. If the student wants to develop one of the aspects more, we focus on it, but also do not forget about the others.

I'm 35 years and live in Scotland. I love watching movies, writing, travelling, walking and painting.

I began teaching English in 2014 when I was working in Shouguang, China. I taught there and in Nanjing until 2021, when I returned to the UK and began teaching online, which I've been doing ever since.

I love to focus on conversational and oral communication. My online speciality is giving the students a topic, asking them questions about it and getting them talking so as to develop not only their language skills, but also their confidence.

Every student who has an interest in learning English, is different compared to another student. I consider their ages, goals, interests and  levels. I combine these factors to the students, character, personality, learning ability and specific need, to tailor each one's lesson plan , making a perfect fit  for each student. This way allows the student to feel safe and secure in a comfortable environment.

Hi, I'm British, but have been living in the beautiful land of Botswana for over 35 years. My wife (who's also British) and I retired about 6 years ago. To fulfill a secret lifetime ambition as well as to stay active in a fun way, I retrained as an English teacher. Wildlife, travel and rugby are my great passions in life, and living in Botswana allows me to pursue all three at the same time! Oh, and the great weather also means a healthy outdoor lifestyle. I'm now a bit old to play rugby, but I'll always find time to watch a game. 
I grew up living all around the world. Living in places such as Cyprus, Hong Kong, Belize and Thailand in my childhood, has made me addicted to travelling. My wife and I have been to places  like India, Nepal, Guatemala...the list goes forever on. Foreign travel is a great way to broaden the mind and understanding of our fellow human beings. I truly believe everyone should travel if they can; it would solve so many problems in the world.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm retired. I was a senior manager in a multi-national company and have experience in most areas of management. I'm an experienced interviewer, having interviewed countless people. So If you want to improve your business English, 

If you are reading this the chances are that you have been studying English for some time, but you still cannot actually speak or use English. It's not you, it has been the way you have been taught! Schools  have been using a method of language teaching which has been proven to be the worst way to teach, as it emphasizes learning grammar and uncontextualized vocabulary from a book.  YOU'VE STUDYING ENGLISH, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN LEARNING  ENGLISH. It's like trying to learn how to swim by reading about it in a book, but never getting into the water and ACTUALLY SWIMMING.
My teaching method is completely different. After taking a placement test, I will tailor make a complete course for you. We will begin learning how to "Learn English with Our Ears". Listening  and speaking are the KEYS to  being  fluent in English. My lessons are conversation based and are designed to be fun. When you're relaxed and having fun, you learn more and you learn faster. It's that simple.
