Key Responsibilities:
- Deliver tailored IELTS preparation classes (Academic and General Training) for students from Asia.
- Identify and address specific challenges commonly faced by Asian learners, such as pronunciation, grammar accuracy, and writing coherence.
- Develop culturally sensitive lesson plans that cater to the needs and learning styles of students from diverse Asian backgrounds.
- Teach all four skills tested in the IELTS exam: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking, with a focus on high-band performance.
- Provide strategies for common difficulties, such as time management during exams and overcoming language-specific challenges (e.g., understanding idiomatic English).
- Conduct mock tests and provide detailed feedback to enhance students exam readiness and confidence.
- Stay updated on IELTS testing requirements and incorporate the latest materials and methods into lessons.
- Offer one-on-one and group support, ensuring students feel valued and motivated throughout their learning journey.
