IELTS preparation · Melbourne & online
Tailored IELTS coaching,
built around you.
One-on-one preparation with a Melbourne-based, CELTA-certified teacher. Sessions shaped to your target band, your weak skills, and your timeline.
Your coach
Hello — I’m Isabel.
I’m a native English speaker, CELTA certified, and based in Melbourne. I coach students through the gap between “pretty good English” and the band score their visa, registration or admission actually requires.
My students are nurses, engineers, migrants and postgraduates — serious people with real deadlines. I’ll tell you what’s costing you marks, and exactly how to fix it.
Why students choose Isabel
Three things institutions can’t match.
IELTS prep at IDP or British Council is built for scale. This programme is built for you.
Tailored
Every programme opens with a full diagnostic. Lessons target the specific skills holding your band back — not a syllabus built for forty students.
Dedicated
Writing and speaking tasks come back with per-criterion band estimates and specific fixes. Not a score out of 9 — a plan for getting there.
Yours
Sixty minutes of Isabel's undivided attention per session. No rotating between rooms, no shared screens, no group-class dilution.
The programme
How coaching actually works.
Four stages, start to finish. Everything you get and when you get it — plus a look at what the written feedback actually looks like.

Writing Task 2 · Academic
Submitted 14 Mar · Returned 16 Mar
Paragraph 2 loses focus — the second sentence introduces a new argument without evidence. Try finishing the first argument completely before moving on.
