About Taliesin
I am a former IELTS examiner for both the spoken and written tests.
I have a Master of Education (TESOL) and Master of Applied Linguistics, and have tried to learn 6 languages (so I know what it's like!)
I have been working as an ESL teacher, in the Academic Writing and ESP (IT) fields to high school, university and private adults for 9 years.

If you're at 5.0 or 5.5, and you need to get 6.0 and above, I can teach you how. If you're at 6.0 and above, I will show you why, and help you to correct to score higher.
Firstly, we will discuss your needs, and assess your current levels for the speaking/writing tests, using the public band descriptors to determine WHY you would get your scores - you NEED to know why before you can fix.
Then, we focus on the criteria that most give you problems - for speaking, that's usually fluency and pronunciation. For the writing, the problems are usually in the Task Response/Achievement and Coherence & Cohesion criteria.
Students will supply their own answers to spoken test questions, so they are unique, natural, and personalised (not copied, memorised, and score lower).
Lessons focus on WHY and how to correct/improve, with specific detailed information. (Students will need to do their own personal study on elements of grammar where required)

Taliesin is a thorough and knowledgeable teacher. I met him in Hangzhou, China. His insights into ESL education are particularly notable. Our time together was fun and informative.
He spent time coaching me on the IELTS exam, I also attended many of his seminars. He holds his students to a high standard and he's got a few jokes. So, overall a positive experience.
He has provided me with valuable instruction and I would recommend anyone interested in ESL or IELTS to learn with him. His reputation as an IELTS expert is well earned.View more recommendations
