In this video, I walk you through how to choose the right IELTS teacher so you can actually secure the band score you’re aiming for. I share seven practical tips to help you avoid wasting time and money on the wrong support. The big idea is simple: don’t pick a teacher just because they’re popular—pick them because they’re proven, relevant, and a good fit for you. I explain what to look for, like verifying a teacher’s real IELTS experience, checking testimonials and reviews, and paying attention to teaching style. I also encourage you to be honest about what you need most (writing, speaking, listening, or overall strategy) so you can find someone who teaches clearly and gives feedback that helps you improve fast. To support your preparation, I also share my free vocabulary guide with 500 essential IELTS words—because strong vocabulary makes a real difference to your writing and speaking score when you use it accurately and naturally.
