About Elif

I have spent nine years helping learners move from “I understand English” to “I can perform in English under exam pressure.” Most of my students arrive stuck between band 6 and 6.5 — usually not because of vocabulary, but because of structure and timing.

My sessions are built around the official IELTS descriptors. We diagnose exactly which criterion is holding your score back, then rebuild that skill with targeted drills and Fin AI feedback between lessons.

  • Diagnostic first lesson with a scored writing and speaking sample
  • Weekly Task 2 essays returned with criterion-by-criterion notes
  • Speaking Part 2 fluency drills recorded and reviewed together

What we work on

  • Writing Task 1 & 2

    Planning frameworks, cohesion, and the academic phrasing examiners reward.

  • Speaking Parts 1–3

    Extended answers, natural hesitation control, and cue-card storytelling.

  • Exam strategy

    Timing, question triage, and staying calm on test day.
