12 Lessons USD $780

In this package, we have the time to do a deeper dive into several exam sections and focus on any particular problems you may have.

We can investigate any score limiting factors such as fossilized errors and pronunciation issues.

There will be lots of time for practice and reinforcement.

I will create a personalized lesson plan for your specific needs.

How many Lessons do I Need?

I recommend that you consider 8 lessons as a minimum.

Lesson packages of different lengths are available and they can easily be extended if you require more lessons.

Improving language proficiency is NOT the same as learning facts.

In order to get better at a language, you need to build skills.

Your new language skills will only become natural and spontaneous after several weeks of constant studying.

6 Lessons USD $390

This lesson package gives us time to cover 1 exam section for the Academic or General Training exam. However, due to the nature of IELTS, if you need a lot of help with speaking (especially for delivery and pronunciation), then I'd recommend you consider a longer lesson package.

In 6 lessons, we can focus on either the listening, reading, or writing tests, learn strategies and do skill building practice to be fully prepared.

If you've already taken the exam, and you're familiar with the speaking test, we can do intensive practice for this section.

I will create a personalized lesson plan for your specific needs.

8 Lessons USD $520

A package of 8 lessons allows us to focus much more on each section of the exam, and to tackle any specific language use problems you may have.

This is the package most often selected by candidates who need my help with speaking and writing.

I will create a personalized lesson plan for your specific needs.

I know it can be scary when you look at the cost of something and see that it comes to a few hundred dollars. For this reason, I offer everyone the option to pay for lessons in instalments.

There is no extra charge for this (unlike big language schools who often add on several hundred dollars for this option).

If you:

need a big increase in scores

have gaps in your language proficiency

need to work on pronunciation and delivery

have fossilized errors to correct

have anxiety, memory, or recall problems

then you should consider a longer lesson package.
