Most of students in Ahmedabad select IELTS institutes on the basis of reviews they get from their friends, parents or relatives. They never pay attention to the quality of a teacher. They
are not aware how to judge a tutor? It is important to understand that what makes a good language or IELTS teacher/tutor? Let us take you through the characteristics of a good IELTS tutor.
First and most important quality of good foreign language or IELTS teacher is a balance of talk time and listening time – the student must have a chance to practice and demonstrate what they
what her or she learned and not only in speaking modules, but also writing, reading and listening.
Second the good tutor helps you to understand your strong point and weaknesses, encourages and challenges you to learn through difficulties. Almost all students have one or two parts of the
IELTS where they feel weaker than others. It is important for the IELTS teacher to identify and focus on these.
Next, the teacher is someone who uses both his head and heart in equal measure throughout lessons. Compassion that a student may be frustrated, angry or just unable to focus on the academics
is very important. The stress and pressure of IETLS can be great, and it is important for a good tutor to be able to discuss and move past this with the student.
he or she should be highly qualified. He or she should hold highest qualification and certification in teaching English effectively. IELTS is an exam which requires expertise to teach various
concepts which are involved
Another important trait is the knowledge of the subject at hand. A teacher cannot truly instruct on topics they do not know well. Just knowing English or even teaching general English is not enough
to be a good IELTS teacher. The teacher need to have tried IETLS tests and used the strategies that they teach. Of course, years of experience teaching IELTS is an asset.
Also, methodology, the way the tutor teaches the authentic IELTS material is key. For example, a good teacher should be honest enough to admit being incorrect. If he or she makes a mistake
or imparts false information he or she should be able to admit that the mistake or error was made.
In the end, you need to feel comfort, confidence, trust and improvement in what you are learning. Given that you have these, you have got an excellent IELTS and language teacher. One sure way
to know is by looking at your IELTS practice test scores before the teacher and with the teacher.
