The Exams

Many of these are specific for the exam in question, but I also implement my own specific, customized materials to assist students learn and improve their skills in reading, listening, speaking, and writing. I want you to improve your marks on the exam.Exam StrategiesThere are many different kinds of students and English-language learners; visual, aural, emotional, and even physical. Also, students can vary from being very rational (detail-oriented) to very global (seeing the big picture). I take into account the type of learner I'm working with to create an exam strategy that fits him or her. I coach you on the exam strategies that best fit you.
Successful Students
IELTS StudentsI have helped students greatly improve their score on the IELTS. I particularly assisted students with the dreaded speaking and confusing listening portions of the test. But, I am also an excellent writing coach, and I have helped students go from a few sentences in a half hour to a fully adequate essay in that time.SAT StudentsThis is a native-speaker-level test, but I have helped non-native speakers with their reading and writing skills such that they scored more than well. Some of my students have gone on to gain entry into prestigious foreign universities, as well as gain scholarships for programs in the United States.GMAT StudentsMeant for high-mark, native-speaker, graduate students, the GMAT is a very difficult test. All the same, I have taken ESL GMAT students by the hand and led them through the complexities and nuances of English. Some of my students have gained scholarships in business universities in Europe.TOEFL StudentsWhile the IELTS is in demand in many parts of the world, the TOEFL can still be a necessary test, especially for American-based programs. The TOEFL has important differences from the IELTS, and I have helped students work with the peculiarities of this test to improve their language skills and score well.
My BackgroundMy RateI offer my online services exclusively through verbling.com. Go there to find me, my current rate, and schedule a lesson. My teaching style is intense and focused on results. However, I am sensitive to an individual’s own learning peculiarities and personality.
Although I am from the US state of Ohio, I currently live in Central Asia (+6 Almaty time), so I am easily accessible from a large number of time zones in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. I teach English at the Women's National Teachers' University of Kazakhstan.
