This is Tish from Yes IELTS. I think you’ll find that she has everything you need in a teacher. Personally, I’m very glad to have her advertising her services here – and I hope to twist her arm (persuade) into adding some content to the site.
If you read her details closely, you’ll see that she has acres of (lots) very relevant experience. That’s good of course. You’ll also see that she is both creative and challenging. That’s even better from my point of view. One very important quality I can add to the list is this: she is an extremely nice person too. And because teaching and learning is such a personal business, perhaps that is the most important quality of all.

Wrong time zone? Need a different teacher?
That’s no problem. See what the other teachers on the teachers page – there should be someone there to help you out.



Tish is an excellent, patient, knowledgeable teacher. I know it can be difficult to trust people online, but Tish is genuinely interested in her students and tailors the lessons based on their needs. She is highly recommended!
Thanks for the re-endorsement. Perhaps I should add student comments to the teachers page.
