IELTS Exam Preparation
Expert support from a Cambridge-educated teacher and Chartered Linguist
If you’re preparing for the IELTS exam to study at a UK university, you’re probably aiming for Band 7 or above – – and that can feel like a big step.
I specialise in helping Chinese students develop the speaking and writing skills needed to reach higher IELTS scores with confidence.
Whether you’re currently in China or already studying in the UK, I can support you with structured, personalised preparation designed around your goals.

This support is especially suitable if you:

✔ feel confident in reading and listening but want help with speaking and writing
✔ want feedback from someone who understands both UK academic expectations and the learning challenges Chinese students face

Why learn with me
I bring together experience from language teaching, translation, and academic training — which allows me to support students in a precise and structured way.
My background includes:
✔ Qualified TEFL teacher (120-hour certification – TEFL UK)
✔ Degree from University of Cambridge (History of Art)
✔ Chartered Linguist and professional translator with 15+ years’ experience
✔ Experience teaching IELTS in classroom settings (A-level environment) and 1-to-1 lessons
✔ Extensive experience supporting Chinese students preparing for UK university entry
Because I am trilingual myself, I understand first-hand the specific challenges Chinese learners face when preparing for IELTS – especially in speaking and writing.
