James (IELTS)

In just one month, James managed to prepare me to reach band 8, starting from 7.5. I highly recommend his lessons to everyone. I love his patience and optimism, he really helped me feel secure. Thank you, James!

I have had 31 intensive lessons with James over the last two and a half months. Before I met James, I was a typical Chinese student who could only wield “mute English” and so intimidated to open my mouth. What’s worse, I had been rejected by the other two italki teachers. While James helped me build up my confidence and honed my skills to deal with IELTS examination. I passed IELTS with a 7.5 last week and I believe it’s was achieved by both James and me. A lot of appreciation, James, and hopefully I can meet you in person someday.

Very good.

I want to thank James for IELTS general test preparation and getting a score of 7.5. He has a huge IELTS experience and a big range of interesting topics to discuss. We went through all four sections reading, listening, writing and speaking. In fact, each section was important but the most valuable were reading and writing. Skim and scan reading techniques I learned from James helped me a lot on the reading section. But for writing section the most useful know-hows were generation of ideas, planning and linking phrases. Finally, we had a lot of speaking practice which resulted in a really high score on speaking. If you are looking for a great IELTS teacher, I would definitely recommend James!

Il docente, con competenza, professionalità ed empatia, sa mettere a proprio agio lo studente rendendo la lezione piacevole e proficua.

James mi ha aiutato nel percorso di avvicinamento all'esame B2. Sin da subito è stato sincero e molto professionale mettendo in chiaro il lavoro da fare e l'impegno che avrei dovuto mettere. Col tempo mi ha fornito materiali sia durante la lezione che al di fuori. È sempre stato reperibile e disponibile per l'orario delle lezioni.
