Hints on the IELTS exam

Many candidates enter the IELTS exam being very unprepared. In my experience, many candidates do not achieve the score they need not due to their language ability but due to a lack of understanding of the requirements of the test. As teachers, it is our job to make them fully aware of the standard required and skills that they will need. ...

My Testimonials

Before i met Catherine, i had completed 2 IELTS tests, and had not achieved the eight that i needed to for my immigration to Australia. i had one 2 hour session with her for 4 weeks. Catherine is an amazing teacher, she put me at ease with all aspects of the test and explains each section in detail and helped me in the areas i was loosing marks to achieve the score i required. She is very professional and is able to tailor make the training session to your needs.
Thanks very much Catherine.

On my initial meeting Catherine was approachable, friendly and easy to talk to. We discussed what I wanted to gain from the lessons and she drew up a teaching program that suited me. I found the lessons structured and easy to follow. Catherine always made sure that I understood what I was learning.
I found her extremely professional, punctual and I can understand why she is an examiner.
I would definitely recommend Catherine to anyone who needs help with their English.

I have been having intensive lessons with Catherine, and I am totally satisfied with every single second. My pronunciation improved a lot, and also I felt more confident in the Speaking section. Catherine also provided me with a wide range of practices in order to improve my writing skills as well. I am definitely pleased with high-quality exercises and sincere effort from Catherine.

I recently sat my Ielts exam, prior to having lessons with Catherine I found myself struggling with the exam. But after spending some time with her going through what needed to be done, I found myself able to go into the exam confident I can achieve the score I need. Catherine is an Ielts pro and a super teacher, she makes the test clear and easy to understand.
Lessons with Catherine are a must especially if you are emigrating to Australia and need a level 7 or above.
