Find a tutor for IELTS preparation in Dublin

Who should consider doing the IELTS  

The international English language testing system is a series of tests to assess the level of English in foreign speakers. The aspect of the IELTS that makes it very useful, is that it is a standardised test that is accepted as a legitimate method to see if someone’s English is good enough to work, study or live in a certain country.  

The countries in which the tests are heavily demanded work, study and migration opportunities are Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. However, many other countries do accept the tests and their results as well it just depends on what you are doing there. For example, the IELTS can be helpful to find jobs at companies based in Hong Kong or Barcelona but you wouldn’t necessarily need IELTS results to get residency in those areas. 

So, if your native language isn’t English and you wish to live, work or study in an English-speaking country, getting an IELTS qualification can help you reach your goals and may even be necessary to get started. Even if you don’t plan on moving anytime soon, having a good result already, will mean that you have many opportunities and possibilities at your disposal. 

A brief overview of our tutors in Dublin 

We have some very talented tutors in Dublin with a mixture of backgrounds and experience that will come in handy when helping you with your English learning and IELTS preparation. There are tutors who are TEFL qualified, meaning that they have received training and instruction on how to effectively teach English as a second language to students.  

Then there are tutors who have completed various third-level degrees which will aid in their lesson preparation and teaching skills. These are just a few examples and we are sure you will find a suitable tutor for your needs. 

Most of them are happy doing a mixture of in-person classes and online ones so that even if you don’t live nearby to any of the tutors you will still have the opportunity to receive their help and instruction. 

Why is getting a tutor for the IELTS a good idea? 

Since the IELTS is an accepted qualification to allow entry into certain countries, jobs and courses, the required level to do well in the testing is quite high. Since getting a good result can affect people’s futures and opportunities working hard is necessary but there is only so much that hard work and determination can do, sometimes you need a helping hand. 

Our tutors will ask you what areas of the IELTS that you want to prepare for or what areas of English are your weakest at, or whatever your learning goals are, they will plan their lessons around your goals so that you can work together on the areas that need it, allowing you to be fully prepared for the tests. 

What’s great about getting the help of our tutors is that they don’t have a general lesson for a class of people like in a school classroom. By tailoring their lessons around your needs and goals, you will be able to make progress and improve your weakest areas quickly.  

Reading skills, writing, complex sentences, grammar, listening practice, improving your vocabulary, pronunciation improvement and more can all be done with one-on-one help. 

Enjoyable ways to improve your English between lessons 

You will get a lot of work and practice with your tutor but there are some things that you can do to maximise your learning and to make the most of your lessons with them. Try and do practice questions and ask your tutor if they have any practice examples that you can do in your own time or if they have suggestions.  

Also, try and watch English-speaking shows/movies and anything that will allow you to hear people speaking. This will help you with your listening skills for the tests as well as help with pronunciation at the same time.
