[心经] For students preparing for IELTS

I found a very helpful post about IELTS for you. Here are 3 hard truths:

I agree with all of them. You must work on your listening, reading, writing, and speaking as much as you can. I am an English teacher living in the United States who helps Chinese adults become better at speaking. In my classes, I correct students' pronunciation and grammar. With time, my students' fluency and cohesion gets better.  

My usual 45-minute lessons consist of a PowerPoint on one topic. The student gets a chance to read, learn new vocabulary words, and answer 20+ questions. After the class, the student gets a study guide PDF with mispronounced words and natural-sounding phrases. (I recommend taking a class with an English teacher at least once a week.) If anyone is interested, please let me know!

In my classes, you will:

• speak 70-80% of the time

• reduce your accent

• receive a lot of corrections

(If you don't like when a teacher corrects you, I'm not the teacher for you!) ヾ(^ิ∀^ิ)

In the IELTS exam, you can either choose American (US English) or British (UK English). You can't mix both languages. I'm an American English teacher.

如果你想提高你的英语水平（对话、写作、阅读、理解、发音），变得更有动力，或者获得更多学习语言的技巧，我很乐意为你提供帮助。我最近开始学习我的第五语言（普通话），在我学会了对话之后，我将开始学习我的第六语言.

•我毕业时获得了英语学位（4.0 GPA）。

•我获得ESOL/ESL/TESOL认证。
