Sajjad Arefsadr IELTS and TOEFL Instructor
No reviews yet

I got my B.A. in English translation and my M.A. and Ph.D. in English Language Teaching (ELT). I have been teaching English for more than 15 years, with 12 years of experience in teaching IELTS. I have specialized in teaching IELTS, scoring 8 in it, and I have published two scholarly papers germane to it. My Ph.D. dissertation was also about IELTS.

To take IELTS well, you should be familiar with it and the skills required to successfully take it. IELTS is not just about general English because, according to the test takers’ performance data published on the IELTS official site, even the people whose mother tongue is English have difficulty scoring well in it (e.g. a band score of 7). This is because taking IELTS well needs some skills that are not usually practiced in general English courses. Additionally, test takers should have a great deal of familiarity with IELTS. Otherwise, they may not know what to do on different parts of the test. For example, many IELTS students do not even know that there are five different kinds of essays in the IELTS essay writing test (Task 2). Thus, besides having a good command of English (i.e., being good in general English) knowing IELTS well and learning the required skills to handle every part of it are indispensable and instrumental in scoring well on this test. In my IELTS courses, I work not only on general English, but also on the skills, techniques, and strategies that are needed to take IELTS confidently and successfully.
