Your teacher
Hello — I’m Isabel.
Hello! I'm Isabel — an English teacher with 7 years of experience, specialising in IELTS preparation. I support students in reaching their target band scores through focused practice across speaking, writing, reading and listening.
TEFL and CELTA certified, with a 30-hour IELTS Preparation qualification. My approach is student-centred and goal-focused: personalised lesson planning, targeted exam strategies, and practice that builds real fluency and accuracy.
