What makes your study notes different from others?

Through my years of IELTS teaching, I've compiled study notes and strategies taken from over 40 IELTS books that I've used. I have a personal English teaching book collection of over 350 books.

If you go to a school, you'll use just one or two books. For me, I was never satisfied with any IELTS textbook as they didn't help my students much. Therefore I created my own IELTS study notes that is over 50 pages of solid information taken from all the best books and resources available. I have most of the popular IELTS books on the market and I've gone through a lot of the best IELTS materials available on the Internet. I would guarantee that my notes are some of the best and most detailed notes you'll find anywhere.

Individual Attention and Correction

Why should I pay for private one-to-one or small group tuition? In a big class of 15-30 in a school, the teacher doesn't have time to give every student individual attention. I know this because I've taught IELTS in many schools. I wasn't able to help correct each student's mistakes because there were too many students and not enough time. The result of this is that students would normally repeat the same mistakes in writing and speaking because in writing the teacher can't address every mistake of yours and in speaking you're mostly communicating with another student and will thus copy each other's mistakes. In my one-to-one or small group (maximum 4 students) tuition, I am able to give more personal attention to each student and help each improve more than he/she could in a big class. Does it make a difference if you specialise in teaching IELTS? I've been teaching IELTS for 5 years. Almost all my present students are IELTS students. I love teaching IELTS. All this means that I've had extensive experience in the IELTS. If you're serious about doing well in the IELTS, you need to have a teacher that specialises in the IELTS. It's not good enough to have an English teacher. There are strategies one can use to do well in the IELTS and only an experienced IELTS teacher would be able to come up with the notes that I have.

Rates and Fees

My rate depends on the number of hours a student takes. My basic rate is S$80 per hour. Each lesson lasts for 2 hours. However, if the student takes at least 10 lessons (20 hours), the rate is $70 per hour. If the student takes at least 20 lessons (40 hours), the rate is $60 per hour. Private 1-to-1 tuition is costly because the personal attention given to you by the teacher means that you’ll learn more quickly than in a class setting. Also, if you look around, you’ll find out that most schools charge between $90 to $100 per hour for private 1-to-1 lessons.
