English Tutors for Vancouver: IELTS, CELPIP and Spoken English

Start from the result you need

Canadian immigration programs usually measure English with an approved test and express the result on the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) scale. Different streams ask for different minimum CLB levels, often CLB 7 or higher, and the accepted tests include IELTS General Training and CELPIP. Universities and colleges generally ask for IELTS Academic or a similar test instead.

So the first question is not "how is my English?" but "which test, which score, and by when?" Tell us in your request, and the lessons are planned backward from the test date.

What Vancouver learners usually ask us for

• ✓IELTS General Training or Academic preparation, with timed practice and feedback on writing
• ✓CELPIP preparation, which is taken on a computer and rewards a different style of speaking and listening practice
• ✓Spoken English and pronunciation for work, interviews and presentations
• ✓Workplace writing: emails, reports and the way colleagues actually phrase things
• ✓Academic English for students starting a college or university program

Where scores are usually lost

Most people who need a higher score lose it in speaking fluency and in writing structure, not in grammar rules. A 1:1 tutor can listen to a recording of your answer, point out the two or three habits that cost marks, and have you redo it in the same session. That loop is hard to get in a large class.
