Frequently Asked Questions
Does Eiza teach IELTS preparation for students aiming to study abroad?
Yes, Eiza specializes in IELTS preparation and has helped students achieve their target band scores for study abroad applications. Her background in Foreign Service gives her a strong grasp of the language proficiency standards and international academic expectations that IELTS measures. She tailors her coaching to each student's weak areas — whether that's Writing Task 2 arguments, Speaking fluency, or Reading comprehension strategies — to maximize their chances of success.
How does Eiza tailor her teaching approach when switching between general English lessons and IELTS preparation sessions?
When teaching general English, I focus on building natural fluency, confidence, and communication skills tailored to each student's personal goals and everyday needs. For IELTS preparation, I shift into a more structured, exam-focused mode — breaking down each band descriptor, drilling task-specific strategies, and timing practice to match real test conditions. My Foreign Service background helps me bridge both approaches, since diplomatic communication demands both authentic language use and precise, high-stakes expression.
What age groups and English proficiency levels does Eiza typically work with, and does she have experience teaching complete beginners?
With 23 years of experience, I have worked with learners across a wide range of ages, from young students building foundational English skills to adult professionals preparing for the IELTS exam. My background in Foreign Service has also exposed me to diverse international learners at varying proficiency levels, so I am very comfortable adapting my approach whether someone is just starting out or refining advanced language skills. Absolute beginners are very welcome — I enjoy the process of building confidence and communication skills from the ground up.
Does Eiza offer one-on-one sessions, group classes, or both, and which format does she recommend for students focused on improving their IELTS score?
Eiza offers both one-on-one and group class formats to accommodate different learning preferences and goals. For students specifically focused on improving their IELTS score, she strongly recommends one-on-one sessions, as they allow her to pinpoint each student's weak areas — whether in speaking, writing, reading, or listening — and tailor targeted practice accordingly. With 23 years of experience guiding learners through the IELTS, she has found that personalized coaching leads to faster, more measurable score improvements compared to a group setting.
How do you structure your lessons to help students improve their IELTS score, and do you tailor your approach differently for each of the four skills — reading, writing, listening, and speaking?
For reading and listening, I focus on building test-taking strategies like skimming, scanning, and identifying key information under timed conditions, while for writing, I break down each task type with structured templates and personalized feedback on grammar, coherence, and lexical range. Speaking practice is more dynamic — I simulate actual IELTS interview conditions, then work backward to address pronunciation, fluency, and idea development based on where each student struggles. Every student comes in with a different weak point, so I continuously adjust the balance across all four skills depending on their diagnostic results and target band score.
