IELTS Speaking One-to-One

Strengthen your skills for IELTS Speaking success!

The problem?

Perhaps you’re facing the IELTS exam for the first time and you’re concerned about your performance in the Speaking paper.

Or you’ve taken the exam before and didn’t quite achieve the advanced grade you need.

You’re not sure which areas of English you need to work on to make progress. It could be that

  • your pronunciation let’s you down
  • you find it difficult speaking fluently
  • you have ‘fossilised’ language mistakes that you just don’t seem to be able to fix
  • you have problems dealing with unknown vocabulary
  • you lack the strategies needed for speaking at length, especially in the Part 2 long turn
  • you want to put what you've learnt into practice in an IELTS-style Speaking test

AND

  • you're looking for help from someone who you have faith in and who can point you in the right direction as quickly and as effectively as possible.

If you’re already studying IELTS in a class you’ll know it’s very difficult for your teacher to give you the personalised help you need - your teacher has many other students to support.

Perhaps you don’t have any qualified, experienced private tutors in your area that you trust to help you.

"Thank you so much for your support and your very useful help to practice the speaking. I hope you will continue to teach English because you explain things clearly and effectively, and you are calm and positive. Actually I think that it was your positive attitude which was the most helpful, and I was more confident in my English after our lessons."

The solution

‘IELTS Speaking One-to-One’ offers you the chance to work with me Peter, in one or more ZOOM lessons to receive support aimed specifically at your needs. You'll be able to learn the areas you need to work on, and have the chance to develop these areas over the course of our meetings.

  • You’ll be given the opportunity to record yourself BEFORE the interview answering some introductory questions. I'll use this 'introduction' to identify your strengths and weaknesses before we meet in ZOOM.
  • Before each meeting you’ll download our preparatory lesson. Each of our IELTS Speaking One-to-One lessons include a downloadable unit of work consisting of language activities and useful strategies to help you in the exam. The lesson will also contain your IELTS Speaking test question and an audio file with me offering you a model answer to the Part 2 task. The lesson is designed to build your confidence for when we meet in ZOOM.
  • ‘IELTS Speaking One-to-One’ will give you one, three or six, 50-minute ZOOM meetings with me. During the first meeting I’ll give you feedback on your recording. In each meeting I'll carry out a full IELTS Speaking test with you and offer final end-of-lesson feedback on areas to work on.

There are three subscription levels, depending on your needs:

"Thanks to this excellent service, I've been able to improve my speaking skills dramatically. Naturally, I felt confident and comfortable during the speaking test. I was sure I would pass the exam and I did!"

Questions

When does the course start and finish?

The course starts from the date you make your order. You have 6 months from the date of your order to complete your ZOOM interviews.

How good should my English be to sign up for your course?

IELTS Speaking One-to-One is aimed at students at upper-intermediate to advanced level - those aiming for IELTS 7.00 or above. The materials you will work through are aimed at this level of English proficiency.

What do I need to take part in the interview?

You'll need to have access to a workstation with a good internet connection and a ZOOM account. You will have the best experience during the interview if you use headphones and a mic rather than relying purely on the audio system on your computer.

Is there a lesson I can download to help me with the interview?

Yes, each interview comes with its own lesson that you can download and use to prepare. If you want to get the most from your time with me I strongly recommend completing the exercises before we meet. These will offer tips and strategies to help you perform at your best during the interview.

Can I be sure my teacher is experienced?

That's a very good question! As I mentioned above, I have well over 20 years teaching experience many of which were spent supporting students preparing for exams. I was also commissioned by Harper Collins to co-author and be sole author of several exam practice books, including two for IELTS.

Finally, I am usually able to quickly build a good rapport with students and contribute to creating the kind of working relationship that will lead to you doing your very best during our time together.
