What are the advantages of hiring an IELTS tutor?

One of the most important decisions you will make during the IELTS preparation process is whether to invest money in a tutor to help you study for the test. The IELTS is, without a doubt, an exam for which you can prepare independently using online or manual resources. However, this approach is possibly not the best option if your goal is to maximize your score in the shortest time possible. In this article we explain the five advantages that a qualified IELTS tutor can provide.

1.- Increase your effectiveness

Before you start studying for IELTS, you need to decide what your target score is. It is not the same to prepare for a 5.5, a 7 or an 8. Depending on the objectives you need to achieve, your preparation will vary. An IELTS coach will help you organize your work so that you can get the results you want. Even if the IELTS is neither passed nor failed, the success or failure of your preparation will depend on whether you reach the target score in the given time.

2.- Increase your productivity

Whether you are a high school student, university student or, of course, you work and need to prepare for the IELTS, preparation time is surely a scarce commodity. This lack of time is explosive when combined with imminent note delivery needs. In addition to helping you achieve your objectives, an IELTS tutor will be able to maximize your performance in the shortest possible time. True professionals can rethink the work plan taking into account your evolution, strengths, weaknesses,… and thus ensure that you reach the objective in times that, on your own, you would not be able to.

3.- Put into practice particular tactics for the IELTS

Have you been preparing for IELTS for a couple of weeks, a month or maybe longer? An IELTS tutor is someone who has been preparing and teaching the IELTS subject for years. It doesn’t matter how much time you may have dedicated to it, they have more skills than you, because they have dedicated much more time to it. This experience gives them a deep understanding of each part of the exam, the types of questions asked, the types of answers expected, and the many obstacles that candidates typically face. With all this information, a tutor can give you practical advice on how to improve your performance on the exam, not only in general, but especially in the sections that you find most difficult.

4.- You will receive constant feedback

If you have ever learned something on your own, it is likely that you have felt a certain amount of stress because you are not clear about how you are evolving. It is a very common but terrible feeling. When you don’t have a lot at stake, making mistakes has a very low price. Now, what happens when you have 2 months to take an exam and if you don’t get the required grade you are left out? In this context, it is vitally important to have someone who is capable of giving you constant feedback on your progress since, if you are making a mistake, it is better to discover it before it is too late.

5.- Experience in the procedures

What version of IELTS should I take? When can you take the exam? What should I expect from the exam center in my city? How can I email my exam results to the university?,… The questions are countless and although you can find answers on the Internet, it takes a long time to be sure of the answer to all your possible queries. The support of a tutor (and especially from a specialized company) will give you the peace of mind that any doubt you have regarding administrative matters will be resolved with a phone call. If you have to prepare for the IELTS, every minute you can dedicate to your preparation counts.
