I love your videos .I have been an English teacher for 23 years .I love your guidance.

The best channel for IELTS in the world, Phil and Michael

[@reretno]

Very helpful video. I was thrown into the class with only IELTS books to start teaching IELTS preparation class. Moreover, I've done a lot of research too and find a way to simplify the lesson as the time goes.

[@TheEnglishGrind]

Thanks for watching!

[@chrisg1234fly]

Been thinking about this for a whilst and now i'm stuck in a country that I cant work in (cos of visas) this could be the way ahead. Thx. Time for some binge watching of your channel.

[@thelstan5065]

I love your videos. I just finished my degree in geography and I'm looking to get into teaching abroad. Your experience and knowledge is very valuable to me ! Take care, mate !

[@TheEnglishGrind]

Glad to hear it. I took Geography at A level, but went onto do History at Uni (for some stupid reason). You're going to love teaching abroad! Just remember when to stop and get your real career started ;-)

[@beeee4542]

[@rashmiwadhwa2117]

Hello sir I got 7 ,7 ,7.5,8 bands in my Ielts exam in 2020 October.How I can become an IELTS TRAINER

[@godsonguide5833]

Can you please share the free resource from British Council to become itelts trainer

[@englishandliteratureplatfo4247]

Please recommend certifications and where to get materials for IELTS teaching. Is my TEFL/TESOL certifications enough ? Must I get TOEFL?

[@TheEnglishGrind]

Ultimately this is down to the school that you teach at. If you are a native English speaker, then your TEFL qualification will be fine. If you aren't a native English speaker then you may have to demonstrate to a school that you are just as competent as a native speaker seeing that you have a TEFL qualification. Basically, there is no set certificate you need to teach IELTS, you just need to show that you have the ability to do it.

[@3434drew]

So CELTA was good, in relation to IELTS, for classroom managment skills? I am considering this path of teaching IELTS on a bit of a whim, and the realization that perhaps I'll have to teach kids for another year at a cram school while learning the ins and outs of the test. That said I just applied for CELTA. Really I want to ask if is CELTA is correct first step in your opnion?

[@TheEnglishGrind]

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, when I took the CELTA it really gave my teaching career a boost. Some schools might not know the difference, but the level of training you get is better than a quick TEFL course.

[@abdullahchhab2325]

Is there a textbook about teaching IELTS that I can read and study?

[@TheEnglishGrind]

Not that I could recommend. I would say get a copy of the latest IELTS past exam papers form Cambridge (see the description of my videos). I'd also recommend you binge-watch a lot of KZbin videos aimed at students as this will help you understand what you should be teaching them. I can recommend IELTS Advantage, E2 IELTS, and of course my sister channel The IELTS Grind. kzbin.info

[@eyyen8233]

Can I ask a question please So you telling me i don't need any qualification to be an IELTS teacher ? I mean I might need a TEFL certification to teach in a school . But i don't need qualification or certification to be an IELTS teacher in British council right ? My IELTS results are enough to get into that ?

[@TheEnglishGrind]

That's correct Vincent. There are no official qualifications to become an IELTS tutor. It will be purely down to the discretion of the person hiring you. I'd imagine the BC would need someone with at least a band 8 level of English. I have seen students advertise their services for private tutoring with a band 7 in some forums too.

[@englishwithmuzammal3596]

IELTS Teaching and Training is about an ongoing process of learning not only for the teachers but also for the trainers teaching the teachers teaching IELTS; it takes an arm and leg to make sure that success in the mind of learners is met with proper guiding routes compatible with the cognitive capabilities someone possesses.

[@rashmiwadhwa2117]

Hello sir I cleared my IELTS exam with 7,7,7.5 ,8 bands in October 2020.How I can become an IELTS TRAINER. I don’t have any teaching experience

[@TheEnglishGrind]

It's really down to the discretion of the school hiring you. I would first recommend getting some sort of ESL qualification if you want to be hired by a school (see the description of the video for my recommendations). Getting some practical experience in a classroom will be really helpful when it comes to teaching exam prep. If, however, you want to teach privately and share your own tips and experience, then you can do this online or through a local ad. Be honest about your level and don't promise more than you can deliver. Best of luck to you.

[@rashmiwadhwa2117]

Thanks sir

[@shyamalashiv5012]

An I become an examiner without trainer experience?

[@TheEnglishGrind]

In my experience, most examiners are IELTS teachers beforehand, but I don't think it's a rule or anything. I would check with your local examination center. I'd imagine you'd need an IELTS score of at least 8-8.5 to apply though.

[@ShashiSingh-yf1xi]

Hi ,this is Shashi Singh from India ,could you answer me back so that I can further take on to communicate with you regarding my queries
