Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your first session

Sessions & Booking

How do I book a session with you?

You can book sessions with me on iTalki through the platform's booking system. Sessions can be booked at least 12 hours in advance. An iTalki account is required.

Do you offer trial sessions?

Yes, I offer paid trial sessions at a reduced rate so that you can get a feel for my coaching style before committing to regular sessions with me.

What platform do you use for sessions?

All sessions are held online via iTalki Classroom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams.

Do you teach children?

Unfortunately not. I primarily work with adults, as I do not have specialized training to teach children.

Do you offer services outside of iTalki?

No, I only offer my services through the iTalki platform.

Pricing & Payment

How much do sessions cost?

Prices are available on my iTalki profile and set according to the service type you choose. Discounts are available for packages.

What payment methods do you accept?

I accept payment through the booking system on iTalki.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

What if I need to cancel a session?

Cancellations must be made through iTalki at least 24 hours in advance. For cancellations within 24 hours, I reserve the right to collect payment. Exceptions (e.g. emergencies or unavoidable unforeseen circumstances) will be considered at my discretion.

Can I reschedule my session?

Yes, as long as you request to reschedule at least 24 hours before the original session time through the iTalki booking system. Exceptions (e.g. emergencies or unavoidable unforeseen circumstances) will be considered at my discretion.

My Approach

Do you provide homework or practice exercises?

It depends on the service you choose and the things we work on together. See the service details for more.

Can you help me prepare for the IELTS exam?

Absolutely! I coach IELTS preparation to help you reach your target band score.

Can you help me prepare for other language exams like the TOEFL or CELPIP?

I can definitely provide guidance and assistance with other exams, as language exams tend to share many similarities, but I primarily specialize in IELTS preparation.

What level of English do I need to start?

The level that you have right now!

Technical and Other Requirements

What do I need for sessions?

An iTalki account is required to book sessions with me. You'll need a stable internet connection, a quiet space, and a device with a microphone (webcam recommended). I highly recommend using a computer rather than a smartphone or tablet. It makes it much easier to follow along in the Google Doc we use.

Do I need to buy textbooks or materials?

No, you don't have to. I provide all session notes, exercises, and resources digitally. I can recommend some books and resources, but buying them is entirely your choice.
