IELTS for Teachers

Teachers play a vital part in supporting students as they prepare for IELTS. Good teaching makes an impact that extends far beyond the classroom. As an IELTS teacher, you will have the chance to help your students realise their dreams of living, working or studying in an English-speaking country.  

IELTS teachers train test takers in how they can improve their performance across each of the four skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. By providing personalised feedback and helping students understand IELTS and how the test is assessed, IELTS teachers are instrumental in helping students achieve their desired band score.  

International English Language System (IELTS) is recognised and accepted by universities, employers, and immigration authorities around the world. IELTS is committed to supporting teachers as they work to help their students achieve their global aspirations. Through training, resources and professional development, teachers teach better with IELTS.
