Advanced IELTS Preparation

Tuition is offered for students and for those wishing to complete an English Qualification for reasons of relocation.

The focus is on encouraging students to think differently and understand:

  • the psychology behind the various IELTS exam question formats – are they testing your English ability or your problem solving skills? This helps answer questions in less time and identify areas for caution in the exam;
  • what practical ‘Human Engineering’ techniques can be used to successfully complete the examinations;
  • how to write & speak effectively – not just the standard academic 4-skills approach. 

All four IELTS examinations have their own peculiarities.

Some strategies that may help:

Listening Test - you cannot read questions & listen at the same time -

  • computers can multi task – we as humans can not;
  • attempting to both read the questions and listen to the test audio at the same time is not necessarily the best strategy.

Speaking & Writing Test - if you fail to plan, you plan to fail -

  • this is particularly true for the Speaking & Writing tests;
  • effective planning is an astonishingly simple strategy with powerful results.

Listening Test- what you do in the time given to read the questions determines you grade -

  • specific logical activities in preparation to actually listen are required;
  • understand the structure of any listening exam.

Speaking Test - learn to speak effectively & use these skills in the test -

  • plan what you are going to say with I,B,C;
  • never answer a question directly, rather build a story.

Reading Tests do not measure your English ability -

  • they measure your problem solving ability;
  • understand the exam is about time management.

Speaking Tests - most of what you say is communicated with body language -

  • smile & maintain eye contact;
  • display confident body language.

Your Mentor

  • develops unique IELTS preparation programmes encouraging students to upskill their problem solving abilities. Supporting Cambridge material is used in a limited fashion – mainly sample tests; 
  • encourages students to understand what practical ‘Human Engineering’ techniques can be used to successfully complete the examinations. For example, we as humans can not multi task – computers can, but we do not. Thus for the IELTS Listening examination, reading the questions and attempting to listen to the audio recording at the same time, is a poor strategy;
  • focuses on working with students to ensure they learn to write & speak effectively – not just the standard academic 4 skills approach. This is important and will have a direct impact on a student’s future career;
  • has many years IELTS tutoring experience in Vietnam & Hong Kong with a proven track record of taking a successful approach with Vietnamese students. In addition he has taught at Universities in both HCMC & Da Nang.
