If your answer is YES to any of these questions, then teaching IELTS might be just right for you!

The next logical question:

  • What's the difference or benefits between being a TEFL English teacher and IELTS teacher?

Teaching IELTS is a rewarding and well paid job as normally IELTS teachers earn above-average income for the country in which they teach. IELTS test-takers all have a remarkable goal - to migrate overseas for study or work - and this makes them generally well motivated and easy to teach. It may be said that IELTS teachers have an easier time than their English teacher colleagues teaching young learners or busy professionals.

IELTS is designed to assess English language skills at all levels - you cannot fail an IELTS test, as it is not designed to test at a particular level . Test takers receive IELTS scores based on each for the four skills (Readıng. Writing, Listening and Speaking) on a scale of 1 - 9, as well as an overall band score. You can score whole (e.g. 5.0, 6.0, 7.0) or half (e.g. 5.5., 6.5, 7.5) bands in each part of the test.

The test is pen and paper-based and the Speaking component is face-to-face with a certified Examiner.

IELTS does not test one particular version of English, such as British or American - it is a test of international English, reflecting the variety of sources that learners have access to and the range of English varieties to which they are exposed.

The aim of this course is to prepare newcomers for teaching IELTS exam classes and to provide teaching solutions to those who are already teaching IELTS exam classes.
