Teaching Style
I try to match my teaching style to my student. That's why I prefer to teach one-to-one. When I teach writing, I ask students to produce an example of their work which we can then look at together and discuss. I work very thoroughly, and therefore rather slowly, but my students have a written record at the end which they can go back to and look at again. If students want to focus on IELTS writing, they can produce Tasks 1 and 2; if they are already working towards a degree of some kind, I will suggest that they produce a piece of academic writing in the style of an essay or a journal article.
