IELTS Preparation
-
Hello, I'm Peter O'Loughlin, and welcome to my IELTS Preparation programme.
If you're preparing for the IELTS test, perhaps because you want to study at a university overseas, develop your career or move to another country, you probably already know how important achieving the right band score can be.
But preparing for IELTS isn't always easy. You might be reasonably confident speaking English in everyday situations but find it difficult to organise your ideas during the Speaking test. Perhaps your Writing needs improvement, or you're struggling to complete the Reading section within the time available.
That's where personalised coaching can help.
I've been teaching English to international students and professionals for over 15 years, and one thing I've learned is that every student has different strengths, weaknesses and learning needs.
That's why I don't believe in giving everybody exactly the same lessons.
My IELTS coaching focuses particularly on Speaking and Writing, although we can also work on Reading skills and test strategies.
For Speaking, we'll practise answering questions, developing your ideas, improving fluency and using vocabulary and grammar more effectively.
For Writing, we'll work on organising your responses, developing clear arguments and understanding how to approach the different IELTS writing tasks.
And throughout the programme, I'll give you practical, constructive feedback so you understand what you're doing well and where you need to improve.
I've also introduced a special IELTS Booster Pack for new students.
This includes five personalised, 50-minute online lessons for just $125.
We can use those five lessons to concentrate on the areas where you need the most help. If Speaking is your main concern, we'll focus on Speaking. If Writing is your priority, we'll spend more time on that.
Of course, five lessons won't necessarily be enough for everyone to achieve their target band score, but they can provide a useful starting point and a clearer direction for your preparation.
And before you make any commitment, you're welcome to book a free 30-minute consultation with me.
We can discuss your current English level, your target IELTS score, when you're planning to take the test and how I might be able to help.
There's no obligation to book lessons. It's simply an opportunity for us to talk and decide whether my coaching would be suitable for you.
So, if you're preparing for IELTS and would like some individual support, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Thank you for watching, and I hope to speak with you soon.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. I offer personalised preparation for both IELTS Academic and General Training. Although the two tests have different Reading and Writing requirements, they share the same Speaking format. Your lessons will focus on the version of IELTS you're preparing for and the skills you most need to improve.
-
I'll help you identify your weaknesses, develop effective test strategies and improve your English through targeted practice and individual feedback. However, IELTS results depend on several factors, including your current ability, preparation time and performance on test day. No particular band score can be guaranteed.
-
No. Your lessons are completely flexible. If you only need help with Speaking or Writing, we can concentrate on that skill. Alternatively, we can divide your lessons between several areas, depending on your goals and preparation needs.
-
My coaching primarily focuses on Speaking, Writing and Reading, where individual guidance and feedback can be particularly valuable. I can also recommend Listening practice strategies and independent learning resources, although Listening is not a main component of the Booster Pack.
-
That depends on your current English level, target band score and how much preparation you need. The five-lesson Booster Pack is designed to provide focused coaching, identify areas for improvement and help you develop effective study strategies. Students requiring more extensive preparation can continue with additional lessons or a longer coaching package.
