Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 18 de Mar de 2021Minha atuação como professor
In my 20 years of teaching, I have taught all types of learners: from elementary to proficient, infants to elderly, Business English, General English and everything in between. I have worked for the industry leading organizations such as English First, International House and the British Council. I have led high profile educational projects including for the National Parliament of Myanmar, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ethiopia and the Ministry of the Interior of Qatar.
However, here on iTalki, my exclusive focus is on IELTS for adults. I have extensive experience with IELTS with 7,000+ actual speaking exams. My knowledge of the exam can help you identify your strengths & weaknesses.Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
As an exam preparation teacher, my goal is to make sure you fully understand the DOs and DONTs of the IELTS exam. My materials, developed during my time at the British Council, will take you through, step-by-step, the requirements of the exam to best ensure you are receiving the best possible score for your language level.
My IELTS lessons are based on years as an IELTS examiner. I have conducted more than 7,000+ real IELTS exams for Cambridge (I uploaded my "Invitation to Examine" to iTalki as proof). I am intimately familiar with the band descriptors. Honestly, my lessons are very direct and frank, identifying exactly what's needed for you to improve.Meu material de ensino

I had 10 fantastic IELTS preparation lessons with Joe, which were immensely beneficial. Joe's expertise in IELTS is evident as he helped me understand the exam's requirements and pinpoint my weaknesses. His engaging teaching style made each lesson enjoyable, transforming challenging topics into manageable tasks with humour and ease. Through Joe's guidance, I gained a clear understanding of how to tackle the IELTS writing and speaking sections effectively. His approach to teaching, which involves leading students to find their own answers, significantly boosted my confidence and skills. In a short span of 10 lessons, Joe provided me with the tools and knowledge to improve my speaking abilities and strategize for the writing tasks. His patience and personalized teaching methods are commendable. I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for effective and enjoyable IELTS preparation. His lessons are a valuable investment toward achieving your desired score.

I got a 7.5 after 6 classes with Joe! He focused on how to pass the exam and maximize the score instead of English language itself. As a result, you can see a big leap in just several days! I could not achieve what I got without his instructions, such as discourse markers, complex sentences and so many other magics.
He’s perfect for IELTS students who want to understand the criteria and see the test from an examiner’s prospective! Highly recommend for people with the language abilities but dont know the exam skills.

If I had practiced IELTS with Joe before, I would have got a better score right away. For instance, Joe showed me easy-to-fix issues that would have brought me to a higher level instantly. Definitely, he is the perfect IELTS coach you are looking for. Thus, if you want to take a high-quality mock test with detailed feedback for every criterion, don't even hesitate to book a lesson!
