IELTS Speaking Test Help - Tailored help exactly for you!

From 192.88 C$ /h

Need help with the IELTS speaking test?

I can offer one-on-one tutoring to help you learn more about the speaking part of IELTS and help you achieve the band score you need. I can help you identify areas to improve, like:
- how many and what kind of grammar mistakes you're making when speaking
- how to improve your pronunciation to be more accurate in clear
- how to hold a conversation and meet the examiner's expectations
- how to expand your vocabulary to be more appropriate for the test

I am a native English speaker and have years of experience as a university academic English lecturer (including IELTS workshops). I know university's expectations for students' speaking abilities and how the IELTS tests this.

Together we can cover the structure of the test and practice so that you gain some experience before the actual test date. I can offer you guidance for areas you need to work on and set your expectations for the test date. Just a few sessions together online can help get you on the right track to achieve the IELTS speaking band score you need!

I'm available online or on a limited basis in Zurich city. Happy to meet with more than one student at a time if desired or one-on-one. Flexible times -- please feel free to ask.

I specialize in teaching children and adults. I make learning creative and fun and completely tailor made to each student's learning style and strengths. I place a strong emphasis on intuitive learning through speaking and reading and I let the grammar and vocabulary knowledge build naturally. I do follow textbooks when required but I also lesson plan around it, using the student's interests to make the class interesting.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello there and welcome to my profile!

Would you like to practise your speaking skills and become more fluent in English?
Would you like to take an English proficiency exam?
Would you like someone to proof-read important documents or help you with phrasing sentences?

If you said yes to one or more of these questions, you're in the right place!

I am a native English speaker with a clear accent. I grew up in Surrey, England, and lived in UK until I was 22. After receiving my Classics degree from University of Cambridge I moved abroad to continue learning languages and teaching English.

I have a very good level of German (B2), and some understanding of Swiss German, having lived in Switzerland for over four years.

As a teacher and tutor, I am very kind and patient. I listen to my students’ needs and plan creative lessons accordingly.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Best wishes,

Tasha

I have worked a lot with adolescent students from regular schools and young adult students. However, I also have experience with mentally or physically impaired students, groups of migrants and behaviorally challenged youth and am not afraid of difficult tasks as well as new challenges. I have aroused your interest ? Please contact me immediately to get to know me better and to arrange a first lesson. I also offer High German as a foreign language.
