IELTS Tutoring, One-to-One and Online
Target Band 7+ with focused one-to-one IELTS coaching across all four skills.
Verified tutors · One-to-one sessions · First lesson free · UK, US, UAE & AU time zones
The IELTS band you need is rarely about your English in general — it is about knowing exactly what the examiner rewards in each section and practising against that standard. A one-to-one tutor can diagnose which skills are costing you marks, usually Writing and Speaking, and build a plan around them.
Whether you need Academic for university or General Training for migration, sessions target your band and timeline with real practice tasks and detailed, honest feedback.
IELTS also rewards technique as much as English. Two candidates with identical English can score a band apart because one understands what the examiner is marking and the other does not — and technique is exactly what can be taught quickly.

At a glance
What your IELTS tutor can help with
Choose one area or work across several — sessions adapt to whatever you need most right now.
Writing Task 1 & 2
Structure, coherence, vocabulary and the exact band descriptors examiners use.
Speaking
Fluency, pronunciation and developing answers, with mock interviews.
Listening
Question types, prediction and the traps that cost easy marks.
Reading
Skimming, scanning, time management and matching techniques.
Full mock tests
Timed practice with a detailed band-by-band breakdown.
Where students get stuck in IELTS
These are the sticking points we see most often — and the ones one-to-one sessions are best at clearing.
Writing Task 2 structure
Strong English, weak essay structure — the most common reason capable candidates stall at 6.5.
Task 1 overview
Missing the overview sentence, which caps the score no matter how good the rest is.
Speaking fluency
Hesitation and memorised answers, both of which examiners are trained to spot.
Reading under time pressure
Running out of time on the last passage — a technique problem, not a comprehension one.

What progress actually looks like
Your tutor will start with a full diagnostic so you know your real band in each skill, not the one you hope for. That single session usually reveals that one or two skills are dragging the overall band down.
From there, sessions focus on the weakest skills, with real marking against the official band descriptors — because speaking and writing are the two skills you genuinely cannot self-mark.

Frequently asked questions
Can you help me reach a specific band, like 7 in Writing?+
We build your plan around your target and give honest feedback on where you are, but no ethical tutor can guarantee a band. What we promise is focused coaching on exactly what the descriptors reward.
Do you prepare for both Academic and General Training?+
Yes — tell us which module and target band you need and we match a specialist.
How many sessions will I need?+
It depends on your current level and target. At your free demo the tutor gives an honest estimate after seeing a sample of your writing and speaking.
How much does IELTS preparation cost?+
Plans start at $100 per month for eight 60-minute one-to-one sessions, with a free first demo.
I keep getting 6.5 and I need 7. What's actually stopping me?+
Usually one skill, and usually writing. At that level the gap is rarely vocabulary or grammar — it is essay structure, task response and coherence. A proper diagnostic will show you exactly where the half-band is going missing.
