Private IELTS Tutors in Melbourne, Sydney & Canberra

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is one of the world’s most recognised and utilised English language proficiency tests used for University entry and global migration programs. It is highly regarded and widely recognised by employers, governments, educational institutions and professional bodies around the world. IELTS is the main test of choice for assessing English proficiency for immigration purposes used by governments in Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia.

IELTS tests the full range of skills required for success in a new job or study placement abroad. An individual will be assessed on the four skills areas of: listening, reading, writing and speaking.

There are two IELTS tests available:

  • IELTS Academic – tests whether an individual’s English language proficiency is suitable for an academic environment, such as a University setting.
  • IELTS General – tests an individual’s English language proficiency in a practical setting, reflecting both workplace and social contexts.

IELTS TUTORS TO IMPROVE YOUR READING, WRITING, SPEAKING & LISTENING

Irrespective of where you live, our Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra tutors can help you achieve your desired outcome. Sydney and Melbourne are multicultural cities where over 250 languages are spoken. It therefore provides a golden opportunity to practice listening to different accents in real-life for the IELTS listening test. According to the 2016 census, over one third of Sydney and Melbourne residents were born overseas, so you also have ample opportunity to practice your speaking with friendly Sydney-siders and Melbournians without feeling self-conscious.

By having more universities than many other cities, you won’t have to travel far to travel to a university library to find journals and books to practice your academic reading skills. These can also help to improve your vocabulary and sharpen your IELTS academic writing skills by seeing numerous examples of how to present and justify opinions, and to analyse and assess problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the tutoring and coaching sessions held?

One of the best things about ESL Tutoring Services is that you get to choose when and where you want to take your lessons. We can meet at your home, at a café, in your office, a public library or do everything online.

Are the tutors and coaches qualified?

Everyone in our teaching team holds a University degree and a CELTA or TESOL qualification, together with experience as an ESL tutor for professionals, so rest assured you’re in competent hands. All our IELTS are qualified, experienced and achieve great results with their students.

How often are the sessions held?

The frequency of your lessons depends entirely on you! If you need to learn faster and your schedule allows, you can have an intensive programme. However, if your IELTS test is only a few months away, we would recommend a minimum of two 90-minute sessions per week for optimal results. This means the learner has enough time to consolidate what they are learning between lessons and allows reinforcement from the tutor regularly.

How much will my lessons cost?

We don’t have any lock in contracts, we are outcomes driven so you are only paying for the lessons you want. We do not have a one-size-fits-all approach, each learner is different – having different needs and learning goals. We can develop a learning program that is customised to your needs. Contact us today to obtain a quote.

How do I sign-up for lessons?

Being our newest student is easy! Give us a ring on 1300 137 186 and we’ll give you all the information you need to kickstart your English learning journey and help you achieve your desired IELTS score.

What can I expect from the first lesson?

Our starting point for IELTS students is generally the completion of a mock IELTS exam paper. You will go through the completed sections with your tutor in your lesson and learn where you need to improve. Alternatively, we can start with the EASy Report which is our proprietary diagnostic assessment tool that provides a very clear snapshot of your level of English competency across the four language skills of speaking, reading, writing and listening. Based on your results we can make an individual learning plan specifically for you.
