I've been teaching English since 2001. I've taught numerous students from different backgrounds and helped them make improvements in their English proficiency. I believe teaching is my thing and it enriches my life as well as others. I constantly develop myself to be a better teacher and I care about my students and their progress.
In my former career, I worked as a high school teacher, an interpreter in many events including IDP Australia education fairs, and academic staff at the University of Sydney.
In my spare time, I love playing music, cooking delicious dishes, baking cakes and reading novels.

I loved the way she explained each type of questions and structures that we can follow to practice. Definitely gives a better idea on how the questions are to be answered more efficiently to score a better mark in IELTS. It was worth it!! Thank you for bringing such great ideas and sharing it with us.

This course is precise and to the point, it provides all the necessary details with just enough explanation. To those short on time like me, this course can be a life saver. I got my desired IELTS score in writing and this is the only course I took. Having said that, practice is the key in writing. You may know all the tips and tricks in your head but if you don't practice, you may not make it to the score you want.
By Abhijeet Singh Panwar on 9/16/2020
It's an excellent course. I gave my IELTS last month and scored 7.5. My preparation was solely based on this course. Course covers both the parts of the test (Letter and essay writing) and explains each and every important part with adequate examples. As per my experience modal questions and answers explained in this course are enough to score good in test.

I had enrolled in course and have taken Ielts general exam this of not much just covers very basic or minimal instead the author should explore presenting the band descriptors ans using range of vocabulary an if forms and modals usage in passage.i have taken three course from this author and I am sorry to none of them serve any purpose they very affordable but at they end of the day you end wasting your time on these course.
By Filipp Mozolevskiy on 12/1/2017
This is one of the best courses for IELTS general writing. The lecturer has done a great job and It is clear that she is very experienced on this topic. However, I think that this course could be improved by adding more practice materials like, for instance, a list of sample questions similar to IELTS. I defenetly will perchise other courses of this lecturer that are related to IELTS. Thank you for your great job.
By Michael K on 9/27/2017
I really enjoyed this course as it carefully explained the necessary components required to achieve a higher score band. I have a strong command of the language as a native speaker but I see that for the purposes of this test, form and certain guidelines should be adhered to in order to achieve the best possible result for the writing section. After getting my results last week, I can say I earned a full 1 point higher on my Writing section after a week of study and practice using the methods taught in this course. I highly recommend it for all test takers who have scored under a 8.5-9.0 band in Writing.
By Syed Hussaini on 8/6/2017
She has given excellent instructions with well formulated ideas. I am more clear on writing now. I had a low band score in my first attempt. I took this course to improvise and I am confident that I will. I will certainly come back to write my scores here to share my success soon. I am scheduled for 19th Aug 2017 GT.
By Saurabh Saini on 5/31/2017
Hi Grace, Apologies for writing in the review so late. The course is tremendously helpful; an absolute 5-star course. I achieved band 7 in the very first attempt, just simply by following your writing style. I am writing the exam again and aiming for band 8 this time around; therefore have started reading the course again!
By Samer Hasan on 2/14/2017
The course was useful for me as I was totally beginner to IELTS writing. Therfore, the it made me very aware about many aspects and methods. However, how advance the course is and how much it will let me get in the exam? I may tell you after I do the exam. The teacher was very helpful and answered my questions thoroughly and in due course. The course is surely advisable and worth the money paid for it.
By Muhammad Faisal Khan on 11/30/2016
Ms Grace, explain this course in such a beautiful manners that I cant even explain the beauty of her teaching skills in my words. After taking these lectures if still I'll be unable to score 8 in this module then all will be my fault. Excellent lectures, I'll suggest all those how are planning to sit in IELTS exam must take this course.
